Bromeliads houseplant care is easy, which adds to this plant’s popularity. Bromeliads require low light and should be kept out of direct sunlight. Place distilled or filtered water in the central cup of the plant and replace frequently to keep it from rotting. Keep the potting mix moist during the spring and the summer months. Bromeliads thrive in temperatures of at least 55 F. (13 C.) or higher. Because these are tropical plants, they benefit from high humidity. A light mist daily will keep your bromeliads looking its best. Add a balanced fertilizer every two weeks during the spring and summer and a slow-release fertilizer at the end of the summer.

This tropical plant has an infectious affect on everyone that comes across it. The most striking thing about bromeliads are the brightly colored bracts that grow out of a beautiful rosette and together form a kind of funnel, even though other shapes are also possible. Between the bracts you will see stunning flowers emerging.

The bromeliads come in an enormous number of colours and shades, such as yellow, red, white, pink, purple, or variegated. These bright coloured plants with big flowers or fine branches hail originally from Ecuador and Colombia. In the wild this plant grows on trees (epiphytic) feeding via its hanging roots but is not a parasite.
