Hey gonzer, I know of one - Aech. aculeatosepala. It is very small, it could grow inside your size 10 flip-flops.

Here is a link that might be useful: Aechmea aculeatosepala

I know of several that are stoloniferous but I will look in the morning at all the blanch's and see if they just have long stems on the pups

correia-araujoi, fosteriana , chantinii

There are a bunch of stoloniferous Aechmeas. Even fasciata has something of a stolon, although not as long as some. Generally it makes for a good epiphyte, since the more places the plant can attach to a branch the more stable it will be. Ae. blanchetiana would be a bit difficult to grow epiphytically though, unless you had a REALLY big tree.

I tend to divide them into 2 categories: the snakes and the outriggers. The snakes are ones like chantinii, zebrina, tessmannii, nallyii, orlandiana, fosteriana, correia-araujoi and nudicaulis, where the stolon clings tightly and wraps itself around a branch or a rock or a pot, and roots all along its length. These can be really tough to remove once they've clamped onto something, kind of like ivy.

The outriggers are more like the stoloniferous Neos. They send out a smooth stem with a pup at the end and wherever the base of the pup touches down it roots. Some examples are fulgens, victoriana, racinae, weilbachii, organensis and miniata. Ae. aculeatosepala would be an extreme member of this group. I don't know any other Aechmeas that are anything like that one, but check out this pic of a typical "outrigger":

Great info. I've never delved into Aechmeas that much. Lisa, I'd think my pups would belong to the "outrigger" category. The photo you linked is typical of the way these grew from the mother. Thanks all.
