My husband gave me an Aechmea Fasciata for Easter and I havent the slightest idea what to do with it. I have never been able to keep indoor houseplants because of my cats using them for a litter box. So I need to keep water in the cup? When do I transplant it? It is currently in bloom. How long does it bloom? My husband bought it from a corner stand. It took me two days on the net to figure out what it was. It did not have a tag on it or care info. IT is in it's original cheap container. Any and all suggestions are gladly accepted. I am so afraid. I have a green thumb for outdoor plants but not indoor. I have been reading a little on this site and it has been very helpful. I just hope that this isnt more than I can handle with care.

Thank you (:
