Any thoughts on getting bromeliads to last more than 1 or 2 years indoors? Mine always seem to hit a wall.

    Try Billbergia nutans - tough as old boots! Mine survived for years in my classroom, including unheated holiday periods, and now lives right next to a radiator with my erratic watering. When I remember and get it right , it rewards with lovely drooping flowers of pink and blue.

    They are not very long lived plants.. and some die after flowering. Are they setting new plants before they die?
