Bromeliads turning brown in the middle

About half of our Bromeliads are turning brown in the middle, most likely from not having enough humidity.

After transplanting them, we have added a fan to move air through the area, as these plants like moving air. It is difficult to replicate their natural environment in home.

One of my favorite sources has a nice video on youtube, so watching it is the…See More
