Guzmania (Bromeliad) : Yellow Leaves (Chlorosis)
Guzmania is a tropical epiphytic bromeliad. Yellowing of the basal leaves can indicate either excess water in the substrate or the end of the life cycle of the mother plant after flowering.
1. Specific Causes for Guzmania lingulata
- !Soggy substrate causing asphyxiation of roots which are fragile in epiphytes.
- !Natural senescence of the mother plant after the appearance and development of suckers.
2. Immediate Care Protocol
If it is natural aging after flowering, do nothing and let the suckers grow.
If the plant has not flowered, empty the stagnant water from the pot and space out the watering of the substrate.
Understanding the plant cycle: the rosette dies naturally after flowering to make way for suckers.
