Growing Bromeliads From Seed
To grow for seed you need the obvious, SEED!!! see "Pollinating Flowers" for more info
when you get your seed every one is a bit different but we sow/plant seed within a few weeks of harvesting it. We use peat and perlite 50:50 mix and washed. There are a few different types of seed and you may have to vary your method to suit. remember you need to keep moist but not wet.
sow the seed on top of the mix and keep moist you need to keep warm and under cover.
This seed above would be near 2 years old and is only about 2cm high
Bromeliad seed that has been thinned out to allow good growth
