Light
Bromeliads can flourish in low, medium, or bright light, just as long as it is indirect. These indoor plants are known for their stunningly colorful leaves, so increase the amount of sunlight to draw out the intensity of the colors. Cut back on the amount of light your Bromeliad receives for a more subdued look.

Water
Water when the soil is dry. Bromeliads grow around a central cup. In nature, this cup works like a reservoir that collects rainwater that is then absorbed into the plant. When growing a Bromeliad as a houseplant, it can be watered through the cup or through the soil.

If watering a Bromeliad through the cup make sure to fill it no more than halfway. Do not leave the cup full for extended periods of time as this can promote rot. It is important to routinely rinse and flush the cup to remove any buildup of salts or minerals from the water.

Temperature
As a tropical plant, Bromeliads prefer warmer temperatures, although they are tolerant and can handle most home environments. The ideal temperature for a Bromeliad is 55-80°F.

Humidity
Bromeliads naturally grow in the tropics and subtropics, so they like higher humidity. These plants are adaptable and can do very well in average humidity. Keep in mind that as the temperature rises these indoor plants will need more humidity.

Fertilizer
During the growing season, fertilize with ½-strength complete liquid fertilizer or use a slow-release fertilizer in the spring.
