This species can be grown in any position - even upside down! Juncea like a moderate amount of light and will turn a shade of red when in bloom. 

Juncea are found naturally in Guatemala, Bolivia, and Mexico. They grow epiphytically in large clumps and come from tropical forested areas which receive high amounts of precipitation during the rainy season. Because of this, Juncea like to receive higher amounts of water than other air plants. Consider soaking them slightly longer than the rest of the bunch, but as always, ensure that they have time to dry out directly after watering. 

SIZE: Small: 4"-5" / Medium: 6"-7" / Large: 8" - 9" / XL: 10" - 12"+

Fortunately this is not the case and the plant will continue to grow healthily. There are a few species with bases like this that include juncea, juncifolia, tricolor, punctulata, and velutina.
