My finger of God about 2 years old now still shows about 95% of green color. Do you give yours sun. I notice my leaves are long and narrow. I have not given up on it yet.

Just got this plant from a friend who was growing it epiphitically. I only know it has been shade grown

This is my Finger of God on the left. The internet pictures show more color than mine. It has never bloomed.
The right one is Neo. Monet.

Just a couple more of my best ones. The Neo on the left is a NOID. The right one is possibly Neo Lila.

Are Aechmea watered in the center just as a Neo? I have had confusing instructions that I would like cleared up.
