I looked up the hardiness zone. Unlike the tree-dwelling Bromeliads, the Puya grows in soil, and can be treated much like a cactus or succulent. It is hardy in zones 8b-11. Mature plants are said to survive temperatures down to 18-20 degrees F (-7°C) if kept relatively dry. Protect young plants from frost the first couple of years. You may grow it in a large pot if necessary and move it to a protected spot over the winter. Full sun is preferred, but some afternoon shade might be needed in hotter climates. It can handle frequent watering if grown in fast-draining soil. Be patient with it, as it will reach flowering size at 6-8 years old. Your patience will pay off when you witness these magical flowers in-person!
