Normally bright red but I fertilized it this year

Hello everyone I have a question I recently got a neoregilia tiger cub and potted it. I was wondering if bonide systemic granules would be an effective systemic for this as the plant has to absorb it through the soil. Will the neoregilia absorb it properly as I know they usually absorb water through the cup.

Tillandsia tenuifolia x recurvifolia

It is newly ripe and smells sweet. This is my first pineapple bromeliad. I got it this past summer and have kept it outside. It's profile is too wide really to keep in the house. Also, what do I do with it now that it's ripe? I want to cut off the top for propagation. Should I do that now or wait? It has no pups. Doesn't seem like it will get pups, it seems a different type. It didn't have a tag when I bought it, it was the last one. Can we eat the fruit? I would really hate for these big fat raccoons around here to knock it off the table and break it. It seems like too little reward for these well fed fatties, but they may be cheeky enough to break it for sport if they smell the sweet.

Bought it with the decorative planter (no drainage holes) the soil was soaked so I removed the planter from the decorative one to allow it to drain. My question is do I change the soil out or just allow it to dry? Will it kill the plant to leave it in the soaked soil? Several of the leaves are yellowed or have holes in them. One last question, from what I’ve read these plants like bright indirect light so will it damage the plant to have an LED light above it?

Is it time to separate these pups from the mother?

Found this growing on a branch in a remote area of Mexico. Was wondering if anyone might be able to identify it? Ive tried everything I can on google and plant id apps but I haven't gotten any results. Thank you in advance

Also what do you think of my Dr. Seuss-like question 🤣

Hello! My mom buys grocery store plants and then gives them to me once they are nearly dead. I have gotten good at Orchids this way, but I am still learning bromeliads. I gently removed the starters and planted them, any suggestions on what to do differently going forward?

I was given this plant from a neighbour. Is it dying or will it give off some pups? What is the black staining in the leaves? Thanks
