I live in Wisconsin and adopted 9 bomeliads in spring that were being thrown out. I have them in clay pots in my yard. I was told that I should bring them in in Sept and put them in the dark, bring them out in November and start watering again to get them to bloom. Is this the correct strategy? We are starting to have cold nights and I think it may be time to bring them in.

Wow, if you read the +100 comments most of you can find the answers to your questions. Thanks so much for the info! I am going to get a spray bottle to water mine with.

Sorry bought the misspelling.I mean this…I just bought my bromeliad at lowe’s and lucky me the only one without an info tag. And I learned it the hard way once I got home. It is between orange and red what type is it and what care does it need?

Hi, I loved this plant and would very much like to grow it again next year. I don’t quite understand what these pups are? there are other smaller little plants around the base of the plant which im guessing that’s what they are, but do you just pull them off? I have pulled one of them off and it doesn’t look like something that might grow again! Thanks x

My husband bought me this plant and it is starting to turn brown. It is in the same container that it came in and I am wondering if it needs to be replanted. Some of the leaves are dying and the 2 large parts that stand up in the middle, one is red and the other is yellow, are turning brown. We have watered it a couple of times but not over doing it. I have had it for about a month.
Please help me save it.
Thanks,

Lisa
