Plant during the acclimation period of October-April of the next year allowing plants to become accustomed to full sun.)
Avoid plantings near/next to asphalt, white walls or buildings, or any highly reflective surfaces.
Should you have to plant during May-September; keep in mind bromeliads will stress, bleach, and/or burn.
Do not pour more than a 1 inch deep amount of mulch, use minimally.
Fertilizers can cause new and tender growths of the plant to burn easily, use very sparingly.
Although many bromeliads can take full sun conditions, there is a select few that are also salt tolerant.

HOW TO POT BROMELIADS Potting for ease of growing, displaying and handling, most bromeliads can be potted. Bromeliads will grow in almost any medium as long as it drains well, is not packed down or tight, provides stability while the rooting system develops, and has a slightly acid to neutral pH. Potting mixes vary according to availability of materials but can also be used in combination. Some examples of this are peat moss, perlite, very coarse builders sand, tree fern fiber, hadite, small sized gravel, and redwood, pine, cypress, or fir bark. The important consideration is that the potting mix must drain rapidly. Orchid bark can also be satisfactory. Bromeliads like many other tropical varieties complement very well with many orchid collections.
