@CaringWormseed For bromeliads, use a well-draining soil mix that balances moisture retention, such as a blend of peat moss, perlite, pine bark, sand, or orchid mix.
Bromeliads have shallow root systems and are susceptible to root rot if their roots are constantly wet. You can use plain old orchid mix
which is a popular choice for bromeliads as it's designed for plants that prefer loose, well-draining conditions.
I like to make my own mix so I combined 1 part regular soil containing bat guano and worm castings and I added 2 parts peat moss. That’s my base, then I mixed in equal parts of orchid bark perlite and coco coir chips. You want the soil loose and chunky. My babies as growing good. These I separated from the mother about 7 months ago.
