Bromeliads are a kind of ornamental ornamental plants, especially can be cultivated indoors, as a home gardening ornamental is very high grade.

Ornamental bromeliad maintenance is extremely easy, as long as they like high temperature, humidity, semi-shade habits, can be placed in a warm, bright indoor year-round. Winter can be full sunlight, spring and fall should be light in the morning and evening, summer do not direct sunlight. Bright light, bright leaf color. Overwintering temperature to not less than 10 ℃ is appropriate, higher than 20 ℃ or more, is not conducive to plant dormancy, will affect the next year's growth and sweat flower.

From the end of spring to the fall of the growing season, you can appropriately increase the amount of watering, the leaf tube can also be filled with some water, you have to change the water once a half, so as not to deteriorate the water stink. Often spray leaf water. In winter, it is appropriate to dry some on the pot, but should not be too dry. In May - September, a weekly nitrogen fertilizer, pre-flowering appropriate increase in phosphorus, potassium fertilizer, in order to promote the flower big colorful. When flowering, the tube should not be filled with water, stored in a place away from sunlight, can extend the flowering period. After flowering into the dormant period, the flower stalks must be cut to reduce the consumption of nutrients. Do not fill the tube with water in winter.

Ornamental bromeliad root system is not very developed, no main root, some roots also like to contact with the air, so with small pots, shallow pots will be planted than with large pots, deep pots grow and develop better. Potting soil is best to use rotting leaves on a small amount of garden soil, or use peat on and perlite half mixed.

After flowering, the center leaf cluster dies, and the secondary daughter plant still continues to grow. When this daughter plant is 15 centimeters high, it can be removed from the mother plant with roots and planted. In this way, only "generation to generation", the number of reproduction is limited. Therefore, it is best to combine the spring potting, cut the mother plant tuber part of the small tuber cuttings, or with the old plant roots sprouted out of the long roots of the shoots, are to avoid the shade and moisturizing heat preservation, when the root system grows to 2 - 3 centimeters, can be planted. If cultivated properly, a mother bead can reproduce about 10 plants per year.
