Plant Essentials
Fertilizer/ feed for the plant:Feed the Bromeliad Zebrina plant every 1-2 months using a balanced fertiliser. Repotting : Adult Bromeliads do not require repotting often so repot only if necessary. When you do repot, do not pick a pot too large for the plant. Propogation : Bromeliads produce pups, or offshoot after flowering which can be divided and potted to propagate the Bromeliad plant.
Common Problems
1. Why are there brownish welts filled with liquid on the underside of my Bromeliad? Rust disease causing the brownish welts filled with liquid on the underside of leaves in Bromeliad are due to rust fungi. overwatering the plant causes rust fungi to grow on the plant. Make sure the drainage hole of the pot is not blocked, let the soil air out. Remove the affected leaves and treat the plant with a fungicide. 2. Why are the leaves at the base of my Bromeliad turning brown or soggy? The basal leaves of the Bromeliad can turn brown or soggy as an indication of either root rot or heart rot. Root cause can be cause either by over-watering or because of the soil remaining excessively damp because the draining hole is blocked or owing to the type of soil used. Heart rot happens because of fungal infections and can be treated with fungicide. 3. What is the chalky substance on the leaves of my Bromeliad? When the water used for the Bromeliad is loaded with minerals because it is not distilled water, that mineral builds up in the leaves where the water is stored, causing the chalky residual when the water evaporates from the leaves.
Style and Decor
Light Requirements :Bromeliads require medium to bright indirect sunlight. Do not expose them to harsh direct sun or the plant will get scorched. Locations :House the Bromeliad in semi shady locations or locations with access to filtered sunlight. Styling/decor tip :Line up well-lit hallways with Bromeliads planted in tall poly-stone containers with false depth. Bromeliads are great to add some greenery to the bathrooms and dark corners of your homes. Plant them in straight monochrome planters and use it as centre pieces for seating areas or dining tables.

What is browning to the tips of leaves of Bromeliad an indication of?
If the Bromeliad receives too much direct sunlight then that causes the plant to get scorched leading to the leaves getting brown at the tips and curling.
Why is there no pattern on my Bromeliad?
If the Bromeliad is not receiving enough sunlight then the vibrant colours and patterns will not form, even if the plant looks healthy and happy.
