Pests

Bromeliads do not have a lot of pests, one in our area is the "Curl Grub" this is commonly found in lawns and can get into your pots. it normally does not attack your plants but tends to turn your potting mix into a peat and this will hold lots of moisture and will rot the heel of the bromeliad off if left in this mix

to fix remove plant from pot find grub and feed to magpies and repot in new mix

If spraying your plants remember they are part of the air plant family and large amounts of oils can suffocate your plants

DO NOT USE ANY COPPER sprays as this will kill your plants. A lot of orchid growers use copper in sprays.
