Bromeliads

Hi, can you explain why on one hand advice is given to keep water always in the cups of broms, while on the other, people have them mounted sideways or upsidedown ... what about the cup water? Thanks

It depends on the TYPE of Brom. Tilandsias for instance don't have "cups" and get their water through their leaves.
