Our oldest daughter, took the plant to care for it, however it never bloomed for her and ended up getting 2 more plants off of the original. In the spring of 2009, she gave it to us, thinking maybe the Missour climate (rather than Iowa) would help it along, to bloom. I repotted it into a bigger container, as one big clump, so that I did not disrupt the root system. Much to our amazement, June of this year (2010) all three plants at the same time, started a bloom. They are just beautiful, and also a little plant has started in the same pot. My question of concern, is== Are all of the plants in the pot conected by 1 root system, or are they individual and can be devided. We think they must be one, as they all 3 got a bloom at the same time? Would really appreciate a reply. We received a Bromeliad in 2002 in full bloom, in memory of our daughter’s death.
