Gardening Under Lights - Bromeliads
A delightfully bizarre group of plants, the bromeliads have long starred in botanical garden exhibits, attracting attention with their brilliant blooms and their neat rosette; of foliage _often so shiny that they appeal to have been varnished.
Many can be classed as succulents be cause they often store an emergency supply of water; not inside fleshy leaves as true succulents do, but in a natural, vase-shaped center formed by their durable foliage.
Natives of the tropical forests of Central and South America, bromeliads fall into two distinct groups: terrestrials, which grow in soil or between rocks; and epiphytes, which are (like some orchid varieties) tree dwellers. Many of the plants in the second group can exist for long periods of time without roots, as long as they receive moisture from reservoirs in their leaf bases.
Despite their exotic appearance and curious growth habits, bromeliads are considered to be exceptionally easy to grow.
When you buy one of these ornamental members of the pineapple family, you may think it needs repotting. Not so. Root systems are limited and need little space, so the pot is always small and seemingly out of proportion to the size of the plant. Actually, roots are short hold fasts, which permit these plants in their natural state to cling to tree branches.
Roots are accustomed to free air circulation, so give them good drainage. When you buy a plant, it may have been potted in osmunda or shredded tree fern bark. If you don't have either material on hand when it's time to repot offsets, you can use a soil mixture that's from one-third to one-half per lite or coarse sand. Using a porous potting mixture provides the open drainage that is essential to the health of this family of plants _waterlogged soil would mean certain death to the roots. But happily there's no guesswork in watering bromeliads Roots require little moisture _a soaking once a week will do. The main thing is to keep water in the center of the plant when you can see it at all times. When the water evaporates, replenish.
Resist the temptation that some amateur; succumb to of placing cut blooms from an other plant inside the water cup of a bromeliad at times when it is not in bloom. A stiff stem inserted there can easily pierce and damage the heart of the bromeliad, ruining a flower bud that is forming inside.
Feeding bromeliads is optional. Some bromeliad hobbyists report of plants in their collections that have grown for years, content with whatever nutriments that they receive from the water. But if you belong to the school of indoor gardeners that believes strongly in fertilizing, a small amount of liquid fish emulsion (diluted according to package directions and used half strength) in the central water cup of the plant should be of some benefit if applied every six to eight weeks during the summer months.
Freedom from insect troubles is a major asset of bromeliads as house plants. But if scale (hard-bodied brown specks on leaves) should attack one of your plants, remove it from the leaf with your fingernail or wash it off with soap and water. Chances are slim that your plant will ever encounter scale, but f it does, take immediate action; neglect will only aggravate the problem.
Leaf burning _the result of putting plants in full sun for extended periods, is almost he only other bromeliad problem. This rarely occurs, however, for none of the bromeliads needs full sun. In fact, the soft-, green-leaved types, such as some of the vriesias, must be grown in shade. Those with stiff foliage, such is many neoregelias, do need very bright light, but you needn't line these plants up by i sunny window where you have to regulate light intensity during the day by shades or draperies. They will thrive as well six feet way from an outdoor light source. When in bloom, you can place them anywhere.
Like many other house plants, bromeliads benefit from being moved outdoors in summer, where natural humidity is high and air can circulate freely around them. But be sure to choose a spot where they will receive only filtered light, never full summer sun.

Is my bromeliad neoregelia ok?
We purchased a neoregelia a few weeks ago, and have been giving it water when the soil starts to feel dry. The first few times we watered it we put the water in the cup, but after read that that is not best for indoors. We have been watering it from the roots, but the cup now has a white growth in it. I am assuming this is a fungus, but I am not sure. Can anyone provide any advice, we want to make sure we don't kill this plant.
you should probably talk with someone at a garden center or plant nursery.
