I was given one of these plants 40 yrs ago. It’s still in the same pot although I have decided it a couple of times. It mostly is an indoor plant for me. I’ve had it outside some summers. It blooms at least twice a year or more. Lovely blooms.

I was not a fan of bromeliad in general until I found this one. Love the colors!

I hated this plants at first because they looked like weeds grown in a garden but when it started to bloom. It was the most beautiful flower I have ever seen.

I've inherited these plants when I moved here. I've got at least 200 of them, in one spot and a hundred accumulatively in areas I've transplanted them in. I have transplanted them in sections of the garden, given them away, and sadly, have thrown some out because, I have to thin out that 200 plus area. So easy to grow, that I don't even think about them until they bloom. Beautiful plant. Hard to find in stores. .

You should sell some, even $5 for a starter would bring you some extra dollars. eBay and others sell them bare root wrapped in a damp paper towel and enclosed in a baggie. I just made 8 plants today out of my overgrown plant that I was afraid was going to break my big 3 gallon beautiful Mexican pot. Could have got more but it’s blooming for the first time ever so I left a big part of it with the bloom in the pottery! Can’t wait to see it bloom! About fertilizer, he says it doesn’t need much but I gave this pot some fertilizer back in the fall for probably the first time and here in Louisiana in Feb, we have had some 75-80 degree days and walla… it’s blooming! I almost threw it out because it scratches me with those tough leaves. Now I’m loving it! 😅❤😅❤😂

Do you have any other color besides pink? I would love to get yellow or blue and would pay for a starter.

I just bought this beautiful plant from a farmer's market. Can I plant this directly in the ground? Thank you!

Hello Ruth, this is an epiphytic plant, so it grows on trees and needs good drainage. In the RIGHT soil AND RIGHT CONDITIONS it can grow in the ground, but can be difficult. You would need to give it very good drainage over any wet season.

I've had three different plants with exactly the same flower. One looks exactly like that. When is shorter stubier and variegated, another was tall and variegated. Wish I could find the tall version again.
