Can Bromeliads be Acclimated to Full Sun?

Can Bromeliads be Acclimated to Full Sun? Last week we looked at the difficulty of moving our Bromeliads to full sun after growing in shade, but can they be acclimated to tolerated full sun? Let’s look at some misconceptions and the real way to acclimate our bromeliads. Knowing how our bromeliads grow is really easy, so come on everybody, “Let’s get growing and have some fun!”

I have noticed that in the far north (sub tropical) of New Zealand our summers are definitely getting hotter. One large pup i bought really suffered from the sun. I am a beginner with broms but i am certainly learning fast! All i have to do now is figure out where to put them so they dont lose their colour in the shade and dont get burned from tge sun!!! Ho hum ....

My girlfriend and I visited you at Sundance and you gave us so much good info. Thank you! We love your content. Keep it up

Thank you! I really appreciate you watching!

Do you know how much this applies to other plants? Everywhere people tell you to only gradually put your plants outdoor. But if the leaves would get sunburnt anyway, wouldn't the only concern be whether the sudden change in location shocks the plant?
I tried looking up how much leaves can adapt once already formed but all the results I get are those articles talking about bringing houseplants outdoor.

Great information from the Caribbean

Looking forward to Tangle Tuesday! Thank you so much for your incredible knowledge and your gift of teaching! I'm trying to apply your scientific know-how to my collection here in Bonita Springs and it has helped tremendously. Very grateful!

I've got 6 voodoo doll neos...they were grown under 50% shsde cloth. I kept them in shade then did a gradual light movement. They lightly bleached, so back under 70% cloth and don't like it there with shades of green. These neoregelia are gorgeous but very subjective to what light they want!!! Great video, Rusty.

Mike, I have given up on changing light exposure on a lot of my broms abt a month and a half on either side of the summer solstice... if it isn't broken I've finally learned to leave well enough alone until the angle of the sun is less direct. Really appreciate you watching!

@islandbreezetropicals1276 indeed mate. I also let the vast majority of my broms 'deal with it and toughen up!' and only move the bigger neos if they are def suffering. Keep up the video topics, loving it!

Yeah, if you are playing the long game you can let the original plant take a beating and allow the pups grow up sun hardy.

@@Daniel-mo2vp found a spot for them...starting to colour :)
