Aechmea Gamosepala / Cylindrata Health Problems ( with picture)

Hi, I am new to Bromeliads and have lost a couple since starting. The problem has been mould from the base of the plant. The leaves are still green yet the leaves at the very base have dried up and I'm not sure to clip these off or what to do. I have included a photo so the problem can be seen. They are in a very dry bark orchid mix. Since the mould problem i have been reluctant to give them any water yet this may be a main issue. Should I wet the medium? I read that I should fill the center with distilled water and rinse out any debris. Everything is quite dry except the green leaves at the top. I am new to these plants so if anyone could give me some advice i would be very grateful
