Omg my dad like totally bought me a Vriesea (it’s red no way right) and it’s bloooming… i’m so excited! However, i’m slightly worried as there are little yellow spikey weird things coming out of only ONE of the red leaves. Can anyone tell me if this is normal or some weird hybridization! It’s totally bizarre I just dont know what to do anymore (sad face)! thanks guys and good luck with growing your beautiful Vriesea!

It’s an interesting caresheet.

What could we add ?
Well, Vriesia splendens can produce numerous seeds, which germinate quite well.
But I’ve not met success with hybrids.

I’ve become a Bromeliad rescue person, and am learning by doing. My Bromeliads are doing very well, have pups.

I just rescued a bunch, about a dozen, and they are outside in my community garden. I live in San Francisco. It doesn’t get very cold here, and the garden is very warm, gets full sun from sunrise to sunset.

Do you think they can survive outside?

Thank you for helpful comments. I recently bought this plant but it has some rust spots; are these burn marks of infection?
