This summer, as every year, the bromeliad which spends
winter in the bathroom was put outside for the warmer weather.

It isn’t particularly fond of direct sunlight, however, so where it is
placed is important.   Bromeliads also like to have their centres filled
with water, but aren’t too happy to have wet roots, because they are
epiphytes;  that is, they often live in trees.

This year, I’ve placed it in a shady spot under a tree, and it seems
to be happy, so long as the water in the centre is kept topped up.

So far, this particular plant hasn’t flowered, but that’s not important,
because if it does flower, the section which flowers will die. Currently,
it is producing a third plant, so maybe it will flower one day.
