    Do you know what kind of plant it is? I’m guessing just the roots were in water only, no soil?

    Have you tried just sitting the entire plant in water? It kinda looks like a water plant

    Bromeliads reproduce and die off when they bloom. Watch for new growths (pups) around the base and take good care of them to restart your plant. The main center part should last pretty well for a bloom, but it'll gradually die off.

      You water the cup of the plant? Dump it and refresh once a week? Soil just lightly moist?

      Yep. Each of the pups will get the same sort of care as the big one. Once they're big enough to survive on their own, you cut them off the main plant and give them separate pots

    Bromeliads want the soil to fully dry out between waterings, but they also want you to keep (distilled, RO, or rain) water in the cup of the crown. I dump my crown water every 3-6 days depending on the bromeliad crown, my super wide shallow one more often than the super deep skinny one as the shallow one collects debris faster with its wider cup. I mark it watered in the app every time i replace the water and when I actually water the soil

      Also it needs special soil as it’s an epiphytic plant
