What to Do If Your Guzmania (Bromeliad) Grows Crooked? Teach You the Right Way to Straighten It

I. How to Deal With Crooked Growth

1. The quickest and most effective method is to insert a wooden stick into its pot, then straighten its stem and tie it to the stick to secure it. This method is the most effective, but it will have a certain impact on its ornamental value.

2. If it grows toward the light due to lighting, then move its pot and face its head toward the side without light, so that because of its phototropism, it will slowly straighten itself out.

II. Care Precautions

1. It prefers warm, moist areas. Use soil rich in humus with very good drainage for it, preferably acidic sandy soil, which is best for its growth.

2. During the day, create a temperature of 21-28 degrees for it, and around 18-21 degrees at night. The maximum must not exceed 35°C. If it is too hot or too cold, it is bad for its growth.

3. It has relatively high requirements for air humidity, preferably 75-85%. If it is lower than 50%, its leaves will curl and shrink, which is very unattractive.

4. In terms of light, it likes sufficient light but not too intense. If the light is too harsh, it can easily get sunburned; if it is too weak, its growth will be poor.

5. When watering it, it is best to use clean water that has been left in the sun for three or four days, and it is best to pour it into the center of the leaves, not directly into the soil. This way, even if the soil is very dry, as long as there is water in the leaf cup, it can still grow well. If the soil is very wet but there is no water in the cup, it will lose its vitality and its leaves will turn yellow.
