- How often should I change the water in the central tank of my Bromeliad?
- To avoid water stagnation and potential leaf rot, it’s best to empty and refresh the water in the central tank at least once a week. This keeps your plant healthy and prevents pest attraction.
- Can the Neoregelia Fireball Variegated be placed in a terrarium?
- Yes, this plant is well-suited for terrariums due to its size and humidity requirements. Ensure the terrarium has ample indirect light and maintain regular misting to replicate a tropical environment.
- What should I do if my Bromeliad stops flowering?
- If your plant isn’t flowering, it might not be receiving enough light. Relocate it to a brighter area with indirect sunlight to encourage blooming.
