I was given a blooming Bromeliad 2 years ago by a friend.
The bloom lasted for months and then it made 2 pups that are now almost as big as the mother.
I pretty much ignore it except to pour water in each crown once a week ish.
For being my most ignored houseplant, it is healthy and growing. Lol.
I just looked it up and is a Guzmania bromeliad. Huh, learned something new.
