well this one and the similar ones like it are going to take atleast 2-3 years to produce/bloom
Although the central plant dies after flowering, they produce "pups" that can be separated and potted up to form new plants
You can force bromeliads to flower by placing the plant inside a clear, airtight plastic bag with a ripe apple for two to three days. Depending on the type of plant you have, flowering will begin in six to fourteen weeks. After flowering, the parent plant dies. Offshoots, or pups, provide for the steady renewal of the plant
^ I'm going to try this on once I have about 3 or 4 of them to work with
