I found a small pot contining three Bromeliads.One is in good condition the other two are hanging in.They all have flowered but they all look dull and ragged. How do I bring them back to glory!!! Do I cut them back? Please, any help would be great. I usually don't take care of house plants,thanks!!!!

I would first try a good dose of fertillizer.Follow directions of course.How ever if the pot is small,check the bottom,if roots are showing you should transplant the fellow.Remember go only one or two pot sizes larger.If while transplanting you see that the three will seperate,I would seperate them and repot them in small containers, it will save you from having to do it later.Give them a good water,perhaps look up thier lighting as well.I hope that works for you,somtimes I find that plants plain have a mind of there own and no matter how you help them that in the end it lays with them.

Thanks so much for the info!!! When it warms up I'll put them outside. Right now they are sitting in my kitchen. I'm misting them for now,because I' beleive they don't like to much water. Chat soon!!!
