A heads up for David,

If the water reservoir is getting scummy, you are doing something seriously
wrong. If you are just second guessing nature, that's your problem and you
need to deal with that on your own. The plants have been doing well all by
themselves for millions of years before you had the notion to play god. It
is best to leave the water reservoir alone because it is a normal function
of the plant and important to its proper growth and survival.

An interesting discussion. Has it been determined wheather these
plants are inside or outside? Or did I just miss that part?

It appears that the relevent question was asked by "Michelle" on 11/10
regarding the water requirements for a potted bromeliad and dwarf date
palm. I assumed this was in reference to indoor plants, and perhaps
muddied the water(!) by mentioning my own plants summer vacation
outdoors.
