And bromeliads:

If you only have a few plants, you could just dump out the water and refill the cup with fresh water once
or twice a week. If you have a large number of bromeliads or don’t want to have to remember to dump them, you can use a bacterium called Bacillus thuringiensis serotype israelensis (Bti). A granular product like Mosquito Bits would be easiest to use in the bromeliads. Although it effectively kills mosquito larvae, Bti is safe for other living organisms.

Apparently the active ingredient in mosquito dunks also comes in a granular form for smaller areas. Nice! I already gave away my bromeliads but I didn’t like them much anyway. They are sharp!
