My bromelaid is doing very well. However, the bloom is now very faded. It is an indoor plant. Do I cut the bloom or stem off. The plant has (2) pups on the perimeter of the plant. The plant looks very healthy. It is in a window with my orchids, east exposure. Thanks.jmg

What do we do after the bromelaid has bloomed? Do we cut it off? Do we continue with the watering? Is it dead? I keep it indoors. It was purchased two months ago. It has bloomed and the bloom is finished.

I purchased a Bromeliad for my office, one with 2 yellow spikes that fade into red. I noticed today that one of the sword-like blooms has small stamens suddenly growing out of it. Is this normal? Good? Bad?

I have a bromeliad which was bright scarlet when I bought it 6 months ago. The colour has faded and looks very dull. There are also three ‘pups’ which are empty and appear to be ‘crowding’ the mother plant. The mother has bloomed bright yellow flowers which I have removed. Should I remove the empty pups?

Still hoping for an answer to how to remove the spent bloom. Anyone? Cut or tear or will it just fall off eventually?

My new bromeliad, given to me, was repotted about two weeks ago. Now the beautiful red bloom is turning green.

I have 2 bromeliad the flower in the middle of both has turned brown. One of them looks like it has died the bulb is still in the pot. The other plant it still has green leafs but has some little one coming up around the bottom. Can I repot the small ones? I’m not real sure how to care for these plants. I just know the ones that I have seen are very pretty. I really would like to keep these for a very long time.

I just purchased a bromeliad (bromeliac.cae) last Friday. Its leaves are turning brown at the ends. I repotted the plant last Monday and I have been keeping it in the living room,where the light is not bright. Please help me because I don’t know what is wrong.
