I like bromeliad very much. I have only one variety. It seems that it needs little water.Plz give me advice.

@salamkalyani-bv5uu need a location and type of bromeliad..most require water in wells preferably all the time.

Do you sterilise your soil before sowing them and what type of fertilizer are you giving them and from what age do you start fertilizing?
@amandasbromeliadsbasics422318 күн бұрын
Yes seedling mix is sterilised prior to sowing..fertiliser and elements are included in the seedraising mix which lasts for 3 months. After 3 months seedlings are given foliage feedings until large enough to transplant.

I have a Billbergia clump ( name Limestone) I've had 4 years. I've noticed the pups grow to the size of the original but they don't form the tight tube, more open like a duck's bill. Is it something I'm not doing right? I'm in Arizona so they get hot, but don't get the kind of rain they would in Florida. I bring them indoors in the winter.
@amandasbromeliadsbasics422328 күн бұрын
Hello..no not at all some are more open vase shape and not tight tube forms..if however they are not getting enough sun they can grow longer and not so tight. If they have good colour its most likely just a different form.

I have about 250 varieties of air plants I adore them! Mine all live inside. Mostly only in the East windows I spent the day preparing for winter coming and less light in the window. I moved all of my hanging plants to the table tops until spring has sprung once again next year.

We are in Spring now and many are flowering after recent weeks of rain and storms. Most did well over winter which was an unusually warm and dry season for us this year. Many pups to remove soon though. Thanks for watching

I've always grown straight onto sphagnum moss. It's not perfect but it is reliable. Whenever i try anything else i get problems with mould/funghi. I also find the same when i seal the container (sphagnum or not). Is there something I'm doing wrong? I live in SEQ.
@amandasbromeliadsbasics4223 Жыл бұрын
You need to ensure the mix used is sterile..heating in microwave for 1 min and allowing to cool is easy for small batches and then you can add antifungal solution to your water when misting..also be sure to spread dry seeds well so not too close..

I was under the impression that pups were much smaller, almost just a bulb. Are they lush just because the mother plant is older?
@amandasbromeliadsbasics4223 Жыл бұрын
these pups are from a larger type of Vriesea and I like to wait till warm weather to remove so they can be quite large depending on which vriesea they are being removed from.

Hi, my name is Jorge and i am from Spain. Firstly, i am very grateful for your videos. I would like to ask you one thing related to pollination. Once month ago, i pollinated alleluya billbergia and also two months ago a neo sant valentine. More or less how much time i have to wait from the pollination until the extraction of seeds? Thank you Greetings from Spain😊

What sort of temperatures do Billbergia's need to germinate?
@amandasbromeliadsbasics4223 Жыл бұрын
Best temperature is 22 degrees or above..can use heat pads in winter or starr them in an area that gets full summer sun all day. Night temps wont affect the growth if warm during day or you can start indoors on.a window sill that gets warm sun

Best over 20 degrees Celsius below germination is slower and requires a heatpad

Thank you for your answer! Can we expect an update video about the tillandsia seedlings on the wood? I really hope so! I myself am now waiting for a tillandsia to have a seed pod, so that I can try to sow this too. Would tillandsia usneoides also get fertilized - I can't find any info about that anywhere.
