Hi experts! I never could keep Bromeliads alive, although I have tried a few times. I just got home from Sky Nursery near Seattle, where I bought some fancy succulents, which seem more up my alley (most allow me to neglect them). I got this gorgeous thing, assuming it was an aloe relative, but when I got home and looked it up it is some kind of Bromeliad. There is no species name on the label, just the genus. How do I take care of it?
Thanks for any advice you might have.
