I have learned not to use regular potting soil. It will immediately cause root rotting. Please do not let it dry it out or it will die as well. They said it was so easy to take care of I’ve managed all plants my orchids are beautiful. For some reason my Fasciata dies I killed two with too much TLC and the last one I bought I’ve had for four months and I’m crossing my fingers as they seem all normal and then bye bye lol.

I have purchased a Bromeliad and will Miracle Grow Potting Soil work for this plant if I don not have Orchid Potting Soil?

Also is this a good time to pot up pups please?

It is a perennial and herbaceous plant, meaning it lives throughout the year, but its leaves and stems die back. So this could also be the case. It can also get a fungus but i dont think that is as common.

It might have root rot.

My bromeliad aechmea fasciata doesn’t look like its dying but it is definetly leaning on one of its vase leaves. It does not stand in the middle like the pictures I have seen. It looks healthy and I take good care of it. Any advise on how to get it to stand centered or is this just natural?

do these bromeliads bloom continuously or do they only bloom once in thier life and then produce pups? How long does the bloom last?
Thank you for your time.
