Likes
Sunshine so place in a brightly-lit position - he won't mind if it's not direct.
Dislikes
A soggy bottom so make sure you allow the compost to dry out between waterings.
Looking after this plant
Guzmanias are generally very low-maintenance plants and should be happy with a water once every 5-7 days in the spring and summer and once every 10-14 days in the autumn and winter.
Living with pets and children
Gary is non-toxic.
