Bromeliads

My son gave me a bromeliad. It arrived with the medium in the basket quite damp. I have watered in the cup, as needed, since I got it. The soil is now very dry, the fan is losing its color and the lower leaves are shriveling and falling off. Should I water the soil? How can I save the plant and restore its vitality and color?
