| I got some Bromeliad seed and was wondering what's the best method of sowing it. The species are: Pitcairnia squamosa, Tillandsia complanata, Vriesea sanguinolenta (= Werauhia s.) Any advice anyone can give would be much appreciated, thanks. |

| Tall chinese take-away containers are best. About 1.5 cm peat then water well and drain. I then put the lid on and cook this in the microwave for 4mins. When cool squeeze your seeds on top of the peat. I use a pointed knife to separate them a bit. Put the lid on and you should have germination after 8/10 days. I keep mine in a well lit place. You won't need to water them until they are big enough to take the lid off. Don't forget to label them. |

| Thanks for that Sunshine. I'm often a bit hopeless with labelling - remember what I'd sown and which pots. Then later I move things around and don't know what's what. |
