Benefits/Uses- Used as a decorative plant.

Growing Conditions-

1. Soil- Use a well-drained soil mix suitable for epiphytic plants. Bromeliads are naturally adapted to growing on trees or rocks, so a mix containing bark, sphagnum moss, or orchid mix works well. The roots should be able to breathe, so avoid compacted or heavy soils.

2. Watering- These plants can be watered by filling the central cup, known as the "vase" or "tank," with water. Ensure the cup is kept partially filled at all times and replace the water every 1-2 weeks. Avoid overwatering the soil, it should be kept lightly moist, not soggy or waterlogged.

3. Temperature- Bromeliads generally prefer temperatures between 18°C-28°C. They can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures but are sensitive to frost and extreme cold. Protect the plants from freezing temperatures.

4. Humidity- Bromeliads appreciate higher humidity levels, ideally between 50%-60%. Avoid excessive humidity, which can lead to fungal issues.

5. Light requirements- Bromeliads prefer bright, indirect light. They can tolerate some direct sunlight but avoid prolonged exposure to intense sunlight, which can scorch their leaves. A location with filtered  sunlight is suitable.

6. Fertilization- Bromeliads do not require much fertilizer. They can be  fertilized  with a diluted, water-soluble fertilizer formulated for epiphytic plants. Apply the fertilizer to the soil or mist it onto the leaves, Fertilize during the growing season (spring and summer) and reduce frequency or stop feeding in winter.

7. Flowering- Bromeliads are known for their vibrant and striking flowers. The flowering period of bromeliads varies depending on the species and growing conditions.  Bromeliads produce colorful and long-lasting blooms that can range in shape, size, and colour.

8. Important Diseases- Bromeliads are generally resistant to diseases but can be affected to  root rot if overwatered. Proper watering practices and suitable soil conditions help to prevent root rot.

9. Important Pests- Common insect pests affecting bromeliads include mealybugs and scale insects. Regularly inspect the plants and treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil. 

10. Pruning- Pruning of bromeliads involves removing of brown or damaged leaves, cutting off spent flower stalks, and separating and replanting mature offsets or pups. 

11. Propagation- The plants can be propagated through "offsets" or "pups" that grow from the base of the mother plant. These can be separated once they have developed  roots and planted in well-drained soil.
