Bromeliad plant care is unique in that it doesn’t involve soil watering. They thrive in tropical climates, as they prefer humid air and low light indoor plants. Bromeliads don’t require soil at all, but they do need a loose, well-draining soil. To create your own soil, mix equal parts peat, bark, and coarse materials.
To encourage blooming, bromeliads need moist, well-draining soil, low to direct light, and a pH of 4.0–7.0. They thrive in bright, humid spaces with indirect light. Watering should be done every one to two weeks in the warmer months and every two to three weeks in the colder months. If your home is particularly warm, consider watering slightly more frequently.
When watering, add 0.8 cups of water every 12 days when the plant doesn’t get direct sunlight and is potted in a 5.0″ pot. The soil pH should be between 4.0–7.0. Bromeliads like a good watering every month, and they should be kept indoors in a brightly lit area with no direct sun while they try to recover. Frequent watering is essential, but allow the potting mix to dry.
While the plants are rooting, keep them in bright light but somewhat less than what is provided to established plants. Keep the potting medium moist and moist.
In summary, bromeliad plant care involves proper watering, humidity, and light exposure. Bromeliads thrive in tropical climates, and their care is crucial for their health and growth.
