How to fertilize Bromeliad Medusa

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 Bromeliad Medusa after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Bromeliad/Neoregelia Help There is an absolutely gorgeous Neoregelia at Planterina I want. But I had very bad luck with a Bromeliad I had, and I don't think I knew how to care for her properly. Can anyone give me direction on how to care for/water these before I give into my impulses and order?? 🥴😀 #neoregelia #bromeliad #plantaddict #Bunny413 #plantsmakepeoplehappy

My bromeliad, Bernadette, is growing but splotchy yellowing on her green leaves #Bromeliad she’s been pushing up new growth in the middle with clusters that seem like she’s heading towards sprouting new big leaves. The pink is starting to fade from the tips. I think it’s normal but I just don’t know. Do you think she’s ok? This is a pic of her this morning after a mist. She’s outside northern facing balcony. It’s been hot and humid. Thanks for your thoughts and advice!

🐶 🐈 👶 Toxicity
Greg does not have confirmed data on this plant’s toxicity. If you, a family member, or a pet consumes plant material of unknown toxicity, it’s always best to consult a medical professional.
If you or someone else ingested this plant, call Poison Control at US (800) 222-1222. If a pet consumed this plant, contact your veterinarian or the ASPCA at US (888) 426-4435.
💨 Humidity
Bromeliad Medusa prefers dry environments. Providing extra humidity or misting your plant allows water to linger on leaves, which can create the perfect environment for harmful types of fungi.
🪴 Soil
Bromeliad Medusa does best in well-draining soil. A good soil will contain lots of organic matter such as coco coir as well as perlite or vermiculite to help with drainage. Adding a handful of perlite to regular store-bought potting soil should do the trick!
💩 Fertilizer
Bromeliad Medusa should be repotted after it doubles in size or once a year, whichever comes first. Fresh potting soil has all the nutrients your plant needs, so as long as it’s refreshed yearly, you shouldn’t need to use fertilizer. Remember, plants get their energy from sunlight, not fertilizer!
🌎 Native Region
Bromeliad Medusa is native to South American Rainforests.
🧐 Troubleshooting
When troubleshooting a sad-looking houseplant, start by checking for signs of distress in its leaves, such as yellowing, browning, or drooping, which can indicate overwatering or nutrient deficiencies.
Inspect the soil moisture; too dry or too wet soil can cause problems.
Ensure the plant is getting the right amount of light, as too much or too little can stress it.
Finally, consider environmental factors like temperature and humidity, and adjust care routines accordingly to revive your plant.
