Water
Keep the central cup (tank) filled with fresh water, and water the potting medium when it begins to dry out. Avoid letting the plant sit in stagnant water to prevent root rot.
Reduce watering slightly during cooler periods.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the central cup (tank) filled with fresh water, and water the potting medium when it begins to dry out. Avoid letting the plant sit in stagnant water to prevent root rot.
Reduce watering slightly during cooler periods.
Pruning is generally not required for Neoregelia marmorata. Remove any dead or damaged leaves at the base of the plant using clean, sharp scissors. This helps maintain a tidy appearance and prevents disease.
Propagate by offsets (pups) that naturally form around the base of the mature plant. Once the offsets are a good size (about one-third of the parent plant), gently separate them with a clean knife and pot them in a suitable bromeliad mix.
Repot only when the plant has outgrown its current container or if the potting medium has broken down. This is typically done every 2-3 years. Use a well-draining bromeliad mix or orchid bark.
