Water thoroughly when the potting medium is dry, but do not allow the plant to sit in standing water. The central cup should be kept moist, but not waterlogged, to prevent rot.

Reduce watering frequency during cooler months.

Pruning is generally not required for Neoregelia abendrothae, as it is a slow-growing bromeliad. Remove dead or damaged leaves at the base of the plant with sterile shears.

After flowering, the mother plant will gradually decline, but will produce pups.

Propagation is best achieved through pups (offsets) that the mother plant produces after flowering. Carefully separate the pups from the mother plant when they are about one-third the size of the parent.

Plant them in a well-draining potting mix.

Repot Neoregelia abendrothae only when it becomes root-bound or outgrows its container, typically every 2-3 years. Use a well-draining bromeliad mix or orchid bark.

Ensure the new pot provides adequate drainage and is slightly larger than the previous one.
