Brief Description

The plant is an ornamental with a prominent central flower stalk that transitions from green to a light brown/tan color, featuring multiple layers of bracts. The leaves are strap-like, glossy green, and arranged in a rosette around the base.

Care Instructions

Provide bright, indirect light. Water by filling the central cup (tank) with filtered or rainwater and flushing it out every month to prevent stagnation. Keep the potting mix moist but not soggy. Provide average room humidity; misting can be beneficial in dry environments. Fertilize sparingly during the growing season with a diluted liquid fertilizer in the tank or on the potting mix.
