I need to get on that learning curve for the bromeliads too. I had that lovely one given to me and I never gave it water but it was where it could get rain. Apparently, the end of our rainy season was too much for it, it rotted out. It had a couple of little pup shoots too, I found them on the rotted base and opened them to the air in hopes they would live but they rotted too. I think here they need to either be in the air or in something very light like sand. It came in nice loamy dirt and I should have pulled it out. Maybe I'll try again.

Air plants though, they are more than easy here even if I forget to water them in the dry season they go dormant and return with the rains. Of course, they are also native here. We have them strung along the phone wires in the rainy season.
