Uses and Popularity

Bromeliads are admired for their exotic, long-lasting flowers and colorful foliage. They are ideal for adding a tropical touch to homes and offices due to their low maintenance and air-purifying qualities.

Bromeliad Plant Care Guide

Light Requirements

Bromeliads thrive in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can burn their leaves. Learn more about light requirements.

Watering Needs

Fill the central cup (tank) with water and change it regularly. Water the soil lightly when it feels dry. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.

Soil Preferences

Use a well-draining mix, such as orchid bark mixed with peat and perlite. Shop Indoor Potting Mix

Temperature & Humidity

Bromeliads prefer temperatures between 60–80°F (16–27°C) and high humidity. Mist leaves regularly or use a humidifier for best growth.

Fertilization

Feed monthly with a diluted liquid fertilizer during the growing season. Apply fertilizer directly into the central cup or lightly on the soil. Explore Natural Fertilizers

Pruning & Maintenance

Remove dead leaves and spent flowers to encourage new growth. Bromeliads produce pups (offsets) after flowering—these can be used for propagation.

Propagation Tips

Offsets (Pups)

Once pups are about one-third the size of the parent plant, carefully remove and replant them in fresh potting mix.

FAQs

How often should I water my Bromeliad?

Keep the central cup filled with fresh water and water the soil when it’s dry. Change the cup water weekly to prevent stagnation.

Why are my Bromeliad leaves turning brown?

Browning leaves can be caused by low humidity, underwatering, or exposure to direct sunlight. Adjust care conditions accordingly.

Can Bromeliads bloom more than once?

No, Bromeliads flower once in their lifetime. However, they produce pups (offsets) that will grow and eventually bloom.
