house plant bromeliad Guzmania Bromeliad

💧 Watering

• Water the central cup (rosette), not the soil.

• Keep the cup about 1/4 full of water—flush it out weekly to prevent stagnation.

• Lightly moisten the soil—don’t let it stay soggy.

• Use rainwater or distilled water if possible (they’re sensitive to chemicals).

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light.

• Can handle medium light, but blooms last longer with good lighting.

• Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

🌬️ Air & Temperature

• Loves warm temps: 65–80°F (18–27°C).

• Needs moderate to high humidity—mist or use a humidity tray.

• Protect from drafts, heaters, and cold air.

• Don’t expose to temps below 55°F (13°C).

🌱 Fertilizing

• Use a bromeliad-specific or diluted general fertilizer.

• Feed monthly during spring and summer, adding it to the soil or water in the cup.

• Skip feeding in fall and winter or after the flower begins fading.
