Re: Bromeliads

I don't know much about bromeliads, but I believe that most bloom only once and then gradually decline. They do produce offsets that can be potted up and will bloom when mature.

Hi Dave-I confess I did not recall you promised me a bromeliad. I also confess that might not be a good idea. I seem to be a bromeliad killer. The only one I haven't managed to kill yet is my giant silver leaved one, can't recall the genus or species at the moment-I need more coffee. Oh I forgot, I also have one small one that seems to be doing OK. I need to study more about them. I also am wondering when my big one is going to bloom again. I "saved" it from the Garden Gate when it was going to be thrown out. It's really gorgeous-one of those that all the places sell with the big silver leaves and pink "blooms" 

How do you get those guys to thrive????
