You Can't Keep a Good Neoregelia Down and other Bromeliad Excitement

When the two oldest Neoreglias gave up their pups for potting, I tossed the near-dead old plants aside and ignored them, meaning to take them to the compost bin. Today I noticed that one lying on its side on the ground had some still-pink leaves.


Further inspection revealed a pup.

Dear to a grower's heart.
I set it up and gave it a drink. I'll leave the mother plant until the pup gains size.

Some of these were repotted this week.
There are 8 smaller pups potted up and growing.
Whatever will I do with all these, come winter?

Fortunately I decided not to separate the pups on my other Bromeliads.

I repotted the cluster of 3 Guzmanias into a square pot today.

Tillandsia cyanea, also a group of 3, has bracts. As the quills 
grow, they will produce blue flowers eventually.
