I bought this just a few weeks ago in Lidl for only €1,49 and it has been blooming now for a few days.  |

The first bloom is about gone but a second one developed overnight!

It was worth having as it lasted a long time.
I took it down to Sis in Portugal when we next went in the car in the hope it would bloom a second time. I must ask her if it did.

It's beautiful Kedi, Ann's mum had one of these and it flowered every year.

Intresting plants Kedi, I've only tried this once and it died on me after flowering.
I think I overwatered it, and it rotted off.
Another bromeliad, so perhaps best kept a bit dryish at the roots but sprayed a couple of times a day.
But who am I to say.
I killed mine. ;D

Oh, I forgot to say that only one of the purple flowers opened at a time, but as soon as one was gone, another appeared and it went on for a long while. The blooms appeared from between the pink bit.
I had mine on the kitchen windowsill, it faces east, and I didn't water it much.
Sis, did it bloom again this year or did it die off?
