I used to keep it in a well lit area but once i move it i noticed it started to change. Is there anyway for me to bring my Bromley back to life?

A bromeliad blooms only once. In theory the parent plant produces a pup before it dies. Good luck.

I have one that looks just like this. I kept checking for a pup and almost chucked the plant. Don’t give up - keep misting and/or watering (whatever your schedule is) and you will get a pup. I got one almost three months after the bract started to brown. It’s so tiny but it’s there. I’m ignoring the big brown bract for now because I don’t think it should be pulled out. Would probably shock the little pup.

Thank you so much. I really was thinking to get rid of it

### Dax commented on 2025-05-23

Oh it will grow from in the middle - right next to the existing bract.

Thanks for giving me hope

You can cut the ugly flower off but don't pull out the parent plant until you have a pup we'll established
