Guzmania Bromeliad Post-Bloom Care & Reblooming

Your Plant: Guzmania Bromeliad

Flower spike turning brown = natural end of bloom (6–12 weeks). Mother plant will slowly decline but produce pups.

Current Issues

• Wilting/burned leaves: Likely low humidity, AC draft, or too much sun.
• Watering: Water soil, not cup. Keep soil barely moist.
• Light: Bright indirect—no direct sun.

Forcing Rebloom (On Mother or Pups)

1. Place plant in clear plastic bag.
2. Add diced apple (ethylene source).
3. Seal 2 weeks, out of direct sun.
4. Water if needed.

Pup Propagation

Separate pups at ½ mother's size; pot individually.
