Comment on Navia Bromeliad Plants by Doris Raecke

In the process of painting watercolors of bromeliads, some of my own, some at friends places, growers and most of all, the annual bromeliad exhibition in Caracas, I have encountered some difficult to classify (I am not a grower, just an artist). Could you help me with a couple of these plants to name my paintings correctly? Where can I send you the photos?
Thank you,
Doris

Comment on Soil and Potting Needs for Bromeliads by Cookie

Last year I planted two bromeliads into my garden soil. I knew nothing about them when I planted. Is it likely they will recover if I remove them and dry them out?

Is it possible to plant any bromeliad on a tree using glue or a tie?

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.

Hello, I purchased a Bromeliad that was on clearance. It’s flower had been pruned off already, I don’t know anything about them, I just felt bad for it. I see that you said they only flower once. Does that mean it’s a lost cause? Will the plant die off? I’ve had it for a few months. It is in a pot of regular potting soil. It looks like little leaves or chutes maybe are growing in on the outside base of the plant.
