Bromeliad Diseases Overview
Bromeliad Plant Family Diseases Information Overview
Many problems commonly attributed to diseases are the result of unfavorable growing conditions. Low temperatures (40°F and below) and over watering can cause the crown of many bromeliads to rot. Also, plants subjected to mechanical injury, insects or sunburn may be invaded by one of many fungi. This invasion usually appears as a dark spot on the leaf, either with sunken or water-soaked areas and frequently with a radiating yellow area.
