My only Bromeliad

20 years ago

A Vriesea, I fear it is about to bloom. Is this the beginning of the end?

What a beautiful, well grown plant! You should be very proud! Yes, its the brginning of the end, but don't despair...before it declines, your plant should produce some offets to carry on the line. Some species decline faster than others. I have several of this type of Vriesea, some I have had a long long time that have not ever yet decided to bloom, so I can't say how long it takes this type from personal experience. Hopefully you will get more than one pup to continue with

Thank you, bihai, for your encouraging comments. I will begin watching for the emergence of a pup(s).

Again, gonzer, I thank you for your kind words. I'm hoping for a pup. I've only 2 other Bromeliads-both Dyckias.
