| Hi all:
Bought a Billbergia 'Las Manchos' this spring. it did well outdoors during the Florida summer and grew a nice pup. The pup has a totally different morphology than the parent. Is this due to different growing conditions? It was in a pretty shady spot. I've attached a pic of the pup and parent, the two still attached. Thanks Bill |

| ok. I grew it in deep shade all summer. I would also think the sun here in summer would be too much in mid day, but I moved it out to a brighter spot where it gets some sun now. so, will see what happens. |

| I think that's caused from fertilizer. Fertilizer will make them grow fast, but often time they will be green. |
