ID for bromeliad

18 years ago

I went to an orchid nursery a few weeks ago and they had a number of other tropical plants...I bought a few that I had never seen before (and had no tags, and so were only $2.00--that was way too much temptation for me). One I'm pretty sure is a bromeliad and I wondered if anyone could tell me anything about it? If it posts OK (I have never tried to insert a pic in a post before), I'll post the other two.

many experts on the bromeliad forum .. best to go there for others ..but I know this one , its Nidularium innocentii var.striatum.

Here is a link that might be useful: Florida Council of Bromeliad Societies

Thanks aroideana...I googled it...you're right! Now how do I take care of it...there are 3 pups (I think that's what you call them) in the pot...the central one appears to have been removed...should I separate them or let them all stay together?
