Quick question. Fertilized my bromeliad and accidentally used my houseplant fertilizer instead of the tropical blend. It was thankfully diluted with its watering schedule like I usually do anyways. I don’t fertilize it more than a couple/few times in the spring/summer but still concerned…should I repot it or wait it out or am I just being a plant mom spaz?

Idk what you normally use but I would say the safest best thing to fertilize your bromeliad with is clean kelp , that's really what my succulents prefer as well 🌱🥹🩷 I use Fox farm fertilizers for the rest of my plants A combination of the FF big Bloom or the FF grow big otherwise

I would watch the plant for signs of burn or deterioration if not I would leave it since it was diluted you should probably be all right
