Answer 1

It is a bromeliad, you don't need to water the soil you put water in to the vase of the plant. I keep mine in bright light near an sunny window or under the florecent light.

Answer 2

That is a bromiliad.We grow ours in pots outside. I have seen them in the open but ours are under the pergola. Put water in the leaves & flowers to water them. They originate from rainforests in S. America I think.

Answer 3

Hi, you are the PROUD owner of a Bromeliad.

It likes some water poured into the center of the flower, 1/2 cup should be enough, and the same amount into the soil mix once a week.

No more than that unless you live in an oven!

Also mist it once or twice a week.

Please keep it out of direct sunlight or it could scald.

But the worst thing you can do is OVER water it.
