Bromeliads

​Bromeliads
How long does the color on a Bromeliad last? My Bromeliad’s flower has started turning brown. Is there anything I can do to reduce this or help it flower longer?
Different bromeliads have flowers that last longer than others. However, 1-2 months is typical for most varieties. The colorful parts of the flowers are often flower bracts and not the flower itself – like the red bracts on a poinsettia.

What’s the correct way to water a Bromeliad? Do you water the planting media or the flower?
Bromeliads may be watered from the top as long as enough water is given to work its way to the media. When watering a bromeliad that is in bloom from the top make sure the old stagnant water in the cup is flushed out because it can sour and rot the center out. The mother plant flowers only one time and produces pups or offshoots which mature after 18-24 months and then they flower, and the cycle repeats itself.

My Bromeliad’s flower has started turning brown. Is there anything I can do to reduce this or help it stay in flower longer?
Different varieties have different bloom life. Be sure to keep fresh water in the rosette. Do not let the water sour.
