Our Yellow Bromeliad (Guzmania) is another relative of the pineapple. Bromeliads are really easy to maintain. Since most plants are discarded after they have finished blooming they can be placed any where in the home or office. Their flowers can last anywhere between 8 to 12 weeks or more.

Water your plant by pouring water down the stem of the plant creating a little waterfall that ends at the soil, being careful not to pour water into the upper leaves of the plant from where the bloom is growing. To re-flower, first make sure your plant is not dry, and then place the plant in a large clear plastic bag out of direct sunshine. Slice up an apple (the apple will produce ethylene gas) and place it on the soil. Seal the bag and leave your plant in the bag for 2 weeks, watering if necessary. Eventually your indoor flowering house plant will flower again. Propagate by removing suckers from the mother plant. They are very low maintenance plants ideal for indoors or for shady patios. In frost-free climates, you can plant them in the ground in lightly shaded areas.
