I saw some really nice, large bromeliads at the garden center. They have large, open mouth looking colorful flowers on top and green leaves. I remember owning one and the whole plant turned brown and rotted within weeks of purchasing.
I have a low light stand near the window but the temp is maybe upper 60's in Winter.

I'm not sure what soil to use, or how to water. I used to mist with water and keep soil constantly moist thinking it's tropical and needs high moisture. What's the right way to care for these?
