It is a bromelaid, which is a tropical plant having short stems with
rosettes of stiff, spiny leaves. Typically bromeliads form a cup for
watering. This variety needs to be watered from the root area. It is
also considered an epiphyte, similar to air plants, but in order to
grow, it needs soil.
Having the correct lighting is crucial. Too much shade will cause the foliage to lose its brilliant color, while too much sun can cause the foliage to heat up, leading to the leaves withering and shriveling. Watering should be done when the soil is dry to the touch. When grown in hotter climates, regular watering is best.
