Bromeliad Care: Water the Soil, Not Just the Tank

Your bromeliad's leaves are shriveling. The fix: water the soil and the tank separately.

The Right Way to Water

• Soil: Let dry almost completely between waterings.
• Tank (center cup): Keep half-full constantly.
• Every 6 months: Flush tank—fill, invert plant, refill.

Why Yours Is Struggling

If it was a large offset, it may lack enough roots. Trim dead leaves. Keep healthy ones. Fix the watering routine, and it should recover.
