Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Brazillian Vaseplant after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Pup? First bromeliad, I see one pup, does anyone see anything else? Should I replant the pup now or wait a bit longer?

The flower’s petals (specifically the purple ones) are closing up. They were more open on July 31 as you can see in the pics. Is this due to under watering? Over watering? Or just natural life cycle? I bought the plant on July 22 and I’m very new to the plant life. Thanks! #UrnPlant #Bromeliad
