Bromeliads - Proper Fertilizer Proper Growth

To maintain the right balance Bromeliads and other house plants need the right amount of "food" just like people.

Notice from the picture the plant on the left shows "tall gangly growth."

This is caused from excessive fertilizer which produces the long curved leaves on the Aechmea fasciata.

The Aechmea plant on the right received the correct  amount of fertilizer shown by its more attractive, healthy appearance and proper form.
