Info on Queens Tears please

10 years ago

If you live in the DFW area and your growing Billbergia Nutans - Queens Tears, please share your growing info. It's new for me this year and I'm not sure what the best way to grow it will be.

I'm in Houston but maybe can help. You will have to bring indoors in winter. Great container or hanging basket plant. Average water. I grow mine in a basket in part sun/bright shade. I have to bring indoors in my z9a

The soil should be fairly light but with good drainage.

Ruth, I have had one for several years in a hanging basket which I put in the greenhouse each winter. I have divided it a couple of times and it blooms beautiully for me with very little attention.

I am just repotting one that I got in a swap. It is very happy but has not bloomed yet. SIGH. My other one bloomed nicely. This new one has much larger/broader leaves so it might be very different. Queens Tears is generic and there are several of them running around with that moniker.
