The flowering period of pineapple

The flowering period of Tillandsia

The normal flowering period of Tillandsia is in late autumn or early spring, but there is no specific time for indoor ones. They can bloom as long as the environment is suitable. The flowers will basically last for 2 to 3 weeks, and each plant only blooms once in its life.

Will the pineapple die after blooming?

Yes, but it will not die immediately. It will grow after blooming. 1~2 years. But everyone can take this opportunity to reproduce.

The flowers of Tillandsia begin to wither. It is recommended to cut off these withered flower stalks, which will produce more seedlings. When the seedlings of the branch plant begin to sprout, the leaves at the bottom of the plant will begin to loosen and appear withered. Do not cut off the leaves at this time, because these places are the locations of the seedlings' bud eyes. When the seedlings grow up, they can be divided and the mother plant can rest.

Post-flowering ramets of Tillandsia

Division is usually done after the death of the bromeliad mother plant. Cut off the clustered withered leaves on the mother plant, and then gently break off the seedlings with your hands. It takes almost no effort. Don't throw away the mother plant immediately, as the pineapple that wilts gradually may produce more branch seedlings.
