🌿 Saving Sick Bromeliads:
Diagnosing and Solving Common Problems
🐛 Pests, Rot & Mystery Problems? Bring Your Questions!
For most bromeliad growers, it’s not a matter of if you’ll encounter pests, rot, fungus, scale, mealybugs, mites, or mysterious leaf damage—it’s when.
At our June meeting, a panel of four experienced BSH growers will share practical advice for identifying problems, preventing damage, and helping your plants thrive. Drawing from years of hands-on experience, our panelists will discuss common bromeliad pests and diseases, treatment options, and preventative measures that can help keep your collection healthy and looking its best.
Best of all, you’ll have an opportunity to ask questions and learn from real-world experiences during an interactive Q&A session. Whether you’re dealing with a current problem or simply want to be prepared for future challenges, this program is packed with practical information that every bromeliad grower can use.
🌟 What You’ll Learn
• How to identify common bromeliad pests and diseases
• Treatment options that actually work
• Ways to prevent problems before they start
• When to treat and when to monitor and wait
• Answers to your own bromeliad questions during the Q&A session
