Sunlight
Thrives in bright, natural light. Place near an east or west window. Can tolerate low light conditions. Not suited for direct sun, they will burn.
Water
Water 2-3 times a week, allowing soil to dry out between waterings. In the rainforests, rainwater gathers in the stiff rosette of leaves that form the urn. Don't overwater, but keep the urn 1/4 filled with water at all times. Provide a moist atmosphere.
Sick Plant Signs
Brown leaves, wet potting mix: Overwatering, root rot
Yellow Spots, crispy brown leaves: Too much light
Leaf drop: Low light, moisture-stress
Drooping, leaf curl, dry potting mix: Underwatering
