# I recently got my cotton candy bromeliad and slowly the leaves have…

_Posted by Camila on 2023-05-16_

I recently got my cotton candy bromeliad and slowly the leaves have curled inward and started fading to white. I watered yesterday by letting her sit in water for about 15 minutes filled her “tank.” The soil is moist but not wet. She was placed near a bright window but does not receive much direct light. Can anyone tell me why this is happening?

might be too much water and not enough light?
