How about placing a cut apple in the soil?
I have noticed several brown spots on some leaves. I noticed some of the plants for sale at the store had spots. Mine did not when I purchased it. What do I need to do?
my leaves are showing some brown marks what is happening to my plant is there anything I can do to save it.
Too much direct sunlight.
Would like to no how large do these plants grow
Why do some bromeliads lose their color?
Hi David. Bromeliads tend to lose their bright colors if they are being exposed to too little light. In order to absorb as much light as possible, your bromeliad will begin to produce high levels of chlorophyll which will cause the plant to become more green.
should I cut the blooms off after they die?
Hi Charlene. It is best to remove a spent bloom so your bromeliad can focus all its energy on producing you pups. You may want to check out this article as it explains exactly how to remove the bloom stalk.
Does anyone know the name of a bromeliad that has a white florescence?
How often do you water the bromeliad? Also how soon can you repot it. Mine seems to be too big for the pot I purchased it in.
Naimah, do you know what kind of bromeliad plant you have? Without knowing, we’d suggest watering it regularly but letting it dry out a little bit between waterings to avoid soggy conditions which can lead to rot. Bromeliads don’t need large pots because they don’t have an extensive root system.
My plant is a new pup transplanted about a month ago. This past week or two I’ve been noticing longitude wrinkling on the stem/base of the plant and now it is falling over, it no longer can hold itself upright. What did I do wrong? I moved it to the bathroom today hoping the humidity would help. I don’t have a green thumb at all. Please help :/
