Characteristics: Imperial Bromeliads are considered the signature species of the genus. Imperial Bromeliads may grow up to 4 feet in height, and 3 feet in width.
Trimming: No formal trimming is required. Remove expired leaves as they brown. The plant will die after flowering and will need replacement.
Fertilization: Imperial Bromeliads require relatively little fertilization.
If fertilization is desired use liquid orchid fertilizer in a half and half solution.
