Bromeliad Tips

• Grow the Bromeliads for their coloured leaves that spring from the plants center.
• If flowers are wanted try a dose of epsom salts or magnesium sulphate as this promotes healthy growth, cell structure and the production of chlorophyll.
• As the inflorescence or coloured spike starts to go brown cut it down to encourage off sets called ‘pups’ and get a new generation of plants.
• It can be good fun growing from seed as different Bromeliads pollinate one another and you can’t be sure what you will get.
• For water holding Bromeliads keep the center topped up with soft water.
