| Oops, forgot to mention. Bromeliads bloom only once in their lifetime. The new pup will produce a bloom when it reaches adult size which may take one year or more. Then it produces pups and so the cycle continues. |
Follow-Up Postings:
|
| Some Deuterocohnia have perennial bloom stalks, and will bloom two or three years on the same inflorescence. |
|
| They can bloom for seven years on the same stalk |
|
| Yes, there are a few exceptions to the one bloom per rosette rule, but most beginners aren't growing these plants. This thread was a follow-up to this one. Not sure why a new thread was started, but in general, when an old inflorescence turns brown, cut it off. That plant won't bloom again (unless it's a Dyckia or a Deuterocohnia). |
