# Hello everyone. I’m new here because I’ve never been able to keep…

_Posted by Jstdine on 2023-05-17_

Hello everyone. I’m new here because I’ve never been able to keep plants alive so I’m reaching out for help because I bought two beautiful plants and it seems I’m failing already. Their leaves look like they are sun burned even though they only get indirect sun. They are in a screened in patio. Please help.  
I attached pictures

It looks like the screen is not providing enough shade and you might benefit from acclimating your plant.

Bromeliads don’t need a lot of sun
