But how do you water bromeliad pups which are detached, do I just put water into the cup even though its very small, into the soil or I just mist them ?
Hi Joy 🤗.I am so happy that i have found your video. I have a bromelia too and i didn't know what i have done wrong because it started to get brown lefs. Thank you. I am from Romania. 🤗
I bought a gorgeous bromeliad with a keiki at a plant show at my local botanical garden. The guy I bought it from told me to keep the cup full at all times. So I did. It died. Thanks for the clarification on this. I can't believe the bad information I've gotten at nurseries and the botanical garden. When I have a question, I look to you. Thanks for being there.
Hey same here, told me to always keep the cup full and i did started dying. Now im tryin to just leave her be and see if she pulls out of it so upsetting.
@@sunnyh4570 I am wondering the same thing? Let it dry out. The cup. And then add a small amount or mist it? I can see where rot could easily set in. I think I will water very conservatively initially
Hello Joy.... I just bought my bromeliad this afternoon and first thing I thought is how to take care of it. As I was scrolling on RU-vid, Thank God I found you! Thank you for the info and God Bless❤️🙏🏼❤️
Are bromeliads sensitive to trans plant? I bought my wife a bromeliad from H-E-B the other day and it came in a small pot of soil/perlite mixture so I assumed it was safe to transplant into an organic soil I had laying around, after some researched I’ve decided Id like to transplant to orchid bark, but am wondering if I should give it some time before the transplant and if it’d be safe to wash away some of the soil from the roots.
I am finding that I may have thrips damage on my beautiful new Neoregelia... Yesterday I wiped it down with alcohol then dumped the dirt out of the pot. Disinfected the pot, got rid of the old dirt and then replaced it. Then I sprayed it really well with insecticidal soap. I stuck the yellow sticky tape beside to scoop up anything that I didn’t get. hope it makes it. She’s so beautiful
You seem like such a fun person! I recently bought one at IKEA because the color was too pretty to ignore. It came planted in a basic potting mix, should I find a way to transfer it to moss/bark like you said they came in? Thanks for the other tips!
I have a blushing bromeliad that I keep in my radiator heat apartment. Within 24-48 hours of filling the tank even to the brim, it's completely drained. How often do you propose I water it during the winter?
Hello. I've come across your video while googling how to water bromeliads growing indoors. I've learned some important things, so thank you for that. But I must say you've confused me somewhat. You said you were going to talk about your indoor bromeliads, but you kept making reference to thinks to do with the outdoors. You talked about temperature and weather conditions, etc. that have nothing to do with inside your home. It was really confusing.
I’m watering one of these for a friend and think I’m f’ing it up. It looked like it was getting soft and brown and now the brown part is very dry. What do I do???
Hello!!! It’s so good I found you, your videos are great. I wonder if you could help me. My guzmania came in a moss pot but it was set on a vase with those gel color spheres. I don’t know if that’s keeping the plant over humid, or maybe the mother plant is just dying, because it has those yellowish brown stains mostly in the center leaves and flower. Do you think I should keep it there, or take it out of the vase and put it in a dry planter so it’s not so wet? Tnx!
So I’m supposed to water both the soil and the cup? The leafs on mine are looking light green and I don’t know if that is bad. This is my first plant ever! Please help
My first bromeliad is more like the one you cut the flower off of, so I'm a newbie to them. How possible is it for the plant to grow "pups" that can be transplanted, and how long before they "bloom"? Thanks, and now subscribed! : )
The bromeliad will produce pups after flowering (you can see a nice big pup on the right side of the plant @ 5:25) and the plant will put its energy into growing the pups as it dies. You can separate the pup and its roots from the main plant at pretty much any time, but the longer you wait, the shorter the bloom time will be. A newly-planted bromeliad pup should flower in about 3 years and then produce pups of its own.
There is advice in another video to not water in the cup but in the plant. The plants looked beautiful and yhe flowers vibrant. She even gave a measurement of water to be poured in.
hi NELL,i recently cut the flower off mine and thought have i done the right thing,so was pleased to see you cut the flower off yours,NELL do you ever get any of the wild life from the desert in your garden?thanks for the video,best wishes from a cold north east england
Hi Michael - Yes, you can cut the flower off when it starts to turn or when it's totally brown. Lots of wildlife visit my garden - snakes, butterflies, birds, lizards, geckos, snakes, javelinas & bobcats. Lots of 4-legged action! Greetings from the sunny desert, Nell
Hello Nell. I really enjoy your videos. I started growing Bromeliads very successfully on my patio in New Orleans. But, now I'm in SW AL and started collecting again. Never had problems with insects eating them until now. Can you recommend a product to treat for slugs, spider mites and caterpillars? I've done research but can't really find a definitive answer. I have Neem Oil, Malathion and BT but don't know which one is best. Also have mustard yellow mushrooms. I'd appreciate your recommendations. Thanks
Is mildew in the planting medium alright? I bought a soil mix however im worried about the mildew which is known to cause diseases for plants. Any help? Thank you!
