The Flowers of this Bromeliad look like Tiny Match Sticks that. is why it is called Matchstick Bromeliad.

Bromeliads are easy house plants. Being epiphytic, bromeliads can grow almost anywhere - on the side of a tree or planted in the ground. They have few roots, just enough to anchor them, and they get their moisture and nutrients from the air or from the water collected in the cup formed between the leaves.

Bromeliads can be grown in a mix of wood chips/ cocochips / moss/ coco peat and granular media like coal / LECA.
