Divide bromeliad correctly - this is how the multiplication succeeds
The bromeliad blooms only once and then dies off. Therefore, the tropical jewelry plant already in the middle of the flowering eager to their continued existence. Prudent amateur gardeners benefit from this property by sharing and multiplying the plant.How this works, you will learn here.
