So I know that bromeliad will only flower once and getting new blooms will require them to give out new offshoots.

Mine started growing what might be an offshoot, but by the time I noticed it, it was already almost as big as the original bundle of leaves, rather than ever looking like a separate chick. Does this qualify as a baby?

That is so cool. I avoid buying these bcz i think they die after the flower. It looks like i was mistaken.
