Chanin how long until a bloom appears?

Hi HDD (^_^)
This species grows so fast, I found they could bloom within one year from pup.

Oh my goodness ya'll are killing me with all these beautiful photos of bromeliads. I've just started growing a couple and I feel the need for more and more. Now if my pocket book wasn't empty, I'd have a bunch more. LOL Maybe if the price of gas keeps going back down I might be able to get one or two more.

I guess I'll just have to enjoy them through all of ya'lls photos. This is a dumb question but can you grow broms from seeds are something besides pups?

Happy Gardening, Marian

Marian,

you can grow bromeliads from seed, I've just started doing it and it is a lot of fun. There are a lot of helpful posts about it here, try doing a search using seedling or hybridising in the search box at the bottom of the page.

It is also worth going through and reading the old posts - there is a treasure trove of information for the novice bromeliad grower.

Chanin,

Great pics as usual, off topic what is the name of your big round Cacti and how long do they take to get that big?

thanks,

Rick

Rick that cactus is Mother-in-laws seat

Thanks HDD (^_^) and for the seat's scientific name, Echinocactus grusonii.
Normally, it mat take 10 to 20 years to grow that big.

Marian & Rick, I hope you will love them both, plant and dragon fly.
