Guzmanias require low light and should be kept out of direct sunlight. Place distilled or filtered water in the central cup of the plant and replace frequently to keep it from rotting. ... Because these are tropical plants, they benefit from high humidity. A light mist daily will keep your guzmania looking its best.

Is guzmania an indoor plant?

A fabulous indoor plant, guzmania is native to tropical forests. The dry air in our homes makes it vulnerable. Spraying the plant regularly and placing the pot atop a bed of wet gravel will help re-create the plant's natural habitat.

How often should you water a guzmania?

Because moisture is collected through their leaves, they'd appreciate spraying or misting once or twice a week. I also moisten the growing medium every 1-2 months depending on the temperatures and the season. Like all houseplants, you want to water less in the late fall through winter.
