Bromeliads require very little fertilising. Some varieties are able to take more feeding than others but over fertilising plants such as Neoregelias will result in long strappy leaves (compact shape is usually better) and loss of colour. A pinch of slow release fertiliser when first potting these plants is usually sufficient. Genera such as Cryptanthus and Vrieseas require more feeding.
