I’ve had this for about 6 months but it’s not lost it’s bright red colour is the flowers and they seem to be drying up. Any help people have on this would be great as I love it and want to see it come back if I can.

Its so pretty! What is it? Hard to say not knowing species, but best guess is 2 things: needs a grow light & the flowers are hogging all the energy from leaves.

Bromeliads usually only bloom once and then they start throwing pups (which you can remove and grow into new plants but it’ll take some years for a bract to grow) basically preparing to die. Once the main bract dies, it won’t grow back unfortunately. Feel free to check me on this since it’s a blanket statement for most bromeliads.
