Beginner Gardening: spots on my bromeliad, 1 by podster

I am curious too. I recently purchased one that had similar damage. The leaf tips are damaged and there is a spot on one leaf.

When yours have become white, I think it is scarred over from earlier damage.

I wondered how long you've had your bromeliad? I had suspected mine was due to overwatering in the store or damage caused by water on the leaves while in the sun. It is like an intensified sunburn from water pooling on the leaves and damaging them.

I am hoping you find an answer too. Kristi
