How to Germinate Bromeliad Seed

Bromeliads include various types of plants that range from pineapples to Spanish moss. They are usually kept as houseplants in most of the United States, but you can grow bromeliads at your home from seed quite easily. Bromeliads grow best in temperatures above 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The seeds of bromeliads germinate in warm, moist conditions and don't need a period of stratification.
