Make a Bromeliad bloom by putting the entire plant in a plastic bag with an apple for one week, the apple produces ethylene gases and revs up the blooming process. I heard this, but have not tried it as of yet, I need to, mine has not bloomed in the 2 years I've have it.

My mom received this unique plant last year as a gift, and this year it carried the most beautiful flower. I was trying out a new function on my camera, and this flower was the ideal subject. Really a truly amazing plant!
