Bromeliad/Neoregelia Help

There is an absolutely gorgeous Neoregelia at Planterina I want. But I had very bad luck with a Bromeliad I had, and I don't think I knew how to care for her properly.

Can anyone give me direction on how to care for/water these before I give into my impulses and order?? 🥴😀

@Gordo 😂😂. Everything I've read says to water in the cup. I'm like, where is the cup?? What is the cup?? There are like 5 levels of openings with leaves.

Thank you! The bromeliad I had before already had it's bloom, so I think that added to my confusion. 😀

The life cycle of a Bromeliad... They grow from a pup. Once a Bromeliad had bloomed keep water in the cup and it will (eventually) produce a pup. Once the pup is about 1/2 the size of Mama plant then you can separate the pup from the mama and pot it up!
