This was helpful and inspiring! I have several different bromeliads, mostly mature clumps of _Achmea fasciata_ and large, sun-loving _Portea_ -but only one _Guzmania_ that is in need of a repot… can these do well in a tree setting? Or do they like water too much? We have a large Banyan fig that is very shaded even in the branches. And, to me, those trees are the best for mounting all types of epiphytes & climbers in. Even on the large, “foot”-like roots, you can mount more terrestrial plants on and their roots will eventually find the soil, but still get adequate aeration by being on the tree itself. I’ve even had pothos and philodendron vines start coming up the aerial roots of the tree. Currently the tree just has some Tillandsia xerographica & juncea, and some orchids, needs more broms!

Great question... in general Guzmanias do less well if grown arboreally, mainly because of their diminished tank size, but why not try one and see how it goes!

The guzmania then have smooth leaves & no spikes or teeth on them? I'm going to look for some. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. 😁

They are pretty friendly with no arming on the leaves... which makes them great bromeliads for indoors!

When I moved to SWFL a couple of years ago I bought several Guzmania's at Home Depot to hang in my trees because of the vibrant flowers. I still have them and they have grown pups but never bloomed again. Is there a secret to get them to rebloom? Thanks

Cindy, the pups can take their own good time, and can be finicky. All Guzmanias that are sold have been chemically induced to flower. Try separating the pups and plant them individually, and give them time to mature growing in bright, indirect light. Good luck!

Hello Rusty 👋 I have 3 bromeliads. A Flaming Sword, A mini Pineapple, with quite a good size pup 😊 (I read that I can also plant the top as well) and I have a Red Guzmania Hope that has a pup growing off of the inside of a bottom leaf, against the plant. Is this normal? It's top is now touching the leaf above... The leaf is turning yellow/brown and the infloresence is fading in color from red to pinkish.. leaves color is fading as well.. I am unsure what to do when.(?) Any of your expert advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you for another great video.

You are seeing the process just as it is supposed to happen. The easiest thing to do is to let nature take its course and allow the adult to decline and the pup to grow. For aesthetics you can certainly cut the fading inflorescence and declining leaves.

@@islandbreezetropicals1276 should I cut the good leaf above the pup to allow room to grow? It's growing straight up. Thank you Rusty for answering my questions so quickly. I really appreciate it!

I do want to allow it to keep its leaves etc. Like you showed, for possibility of more pups.

I have tried planting this genus and found the flowering to be sporadic... all Guzmanias sold commercially have been chemically induced to flower, guessing their light requirements when grown naturally to be finicky.

my Guzmania is not doing well after it stopped blooming. It is alive, but this is all I can tell about it.

Depending on how long ago the flowering was, remember that your Guz is monocarpic like all bromeliads that bloom from the center of the plant, and so will decline and eventually die after producing pups. Keep the potting mix damp but not mucky to keep the plant from rotting. hope this help[s.
