Oldmangroot, I am so sorry. I've gotten into broms, too, this past couple years and I hate when something goes wrong. I had some beautiful neos planted at the base of one of my back yard oaks. I had some branches pruned last year and the guy who did the pruning was walking all over them. I'm amazingly spineless when someone is trying to help me - I didn't say a word - I knew he had to put his feet somewhere. But the broms did not fare well. They were pretty torn up. I lifted the broms from the ground and potted them up so I could provide better control of their environment and some tender loving care. My purpose for keeping them now is solely for the PUPS!!!! Their cups do not hold water, so I have to make sure to water them frequently. It's all about keeping them alive and as healthy as possible to harvest those pups! Look how awful these look. First brom. It's looked this way since November: Goal is to save these two babies (above)! Second brom: Goal is to save these two babies (above)! Because they look terrible and also don't retain water well, they live here in the shade at the base of other plants. (Look down into the middle of the photo): Here's what my pups will look like - why I want to save them: As we move into the heat of the summer, make sure you monitor whether or not your damaged broms are getting enough moisture and if either is really a loss, just work on keeping them alive to bloom and give you some pups. Good luck! I feel your pain! Carol in Jacksonville

So I had this bromeliad for some time now. Lately, it has some yellow on its leaves and they have worsen. The leaves became soft, so I cut them off. Is it too much water or some disease and what should I do?
