Guzmania Bromeliad Care: Don't Repot, Water Soil Not Cup

Keep Pot Small

Your Guzmania bromeliads are likely Guzmania species. Do not repot—they prefer tight pots. Large pots cause root rot.

Light and Watering

• Place near sunny north or east window (uncovered).
• Water soil directly when dry 1 inch deep; avoid filling leaf cup.
• Weekly watering typical in good light.

Life Cycle

Flower lasts 2–4 months. After it fades, the mother plant declines while pups emerge at the base. Pups mature in several years. Leave them in the same pot.
