Neoregelia Grace?

I salvaged these from a plant leasing business, thought I could get them to put out some pups, any suggestions would be welcomed, thanks, Ed

Hi Ed, good luck. The third one looks just about 'had it'!
I would repot with plenty of fertiliser and put them in the shade. A bit of warmth and time should help them get a pup or two. See how you go.
Sue

Thanks so much for getting back with me Sue, I thought I would try my hand at terrestrial bromeliads, and ordered a whole buch of different Neoregelia, anyhow, I did a bunch of reading, and was wondering what you use for fertilizer, and how much, how often do you fertilize to produce pups, thanks again, so far there's not a website I've found, that's got more beautiful Bromes than you do, Ed

Well Sue, I re-poted those Neo. Grace, and the one that looked liked it was a gonner, had two pups starting at the bottom, I also received these Neo. Aztec, and crypt. Black mystic, also two larger Neo. Lila, the little ones had root development, so I put them in four inch pots, but do you think the other two medium size Neo. Lila, are ready for six inch pots, and are they all ready for a few hours a day sun, thank you for your help, Ed

Also

Neo. Lila

Awww shucks, thanks Ed!
I use a slow release granular fertiliser that lasts about 3 months. I think the brand name is Osmocote, or Nutricote. I'm sure you would have something similar over there?
I use it when I am getting the pups started, and when I'm trying to get more pups on the parent plant, but once i put them into high light, I stop the fertiliser because it makes the leaves soft and prone to burning.
Make sure you keep the fertiliser from touching the base of the plant, and don't get any amongst the leaves or in the centre.
Thats great that there are pups forming already! Bonus!
The N. 'Lila' s look large enough to go up a size, but don't worry too much, beacause they grow on trees and rocks with little or no soil, but by all means, for a larger plant, a larger pot.
Put them in filtered light first then gradualy move them into morning sun over a period of seven days. I usually get mine out in the sun through winter, when its not so intense, and then give them afternoon shade for summer. N. 'Lila' is usually a green leaved brom anyway, and colours up around the time it flower, so it won't do much for the leaf colour, except to make it a lighter green. You could try one in the sun and one in the shade to see which you prefer. It only takes a week or 2 of shade to turn a brom back to green!
Have Fun Ed! It sounds as though you are hooked!
Sue

Thanks again Sue, I hope it works out, without a shade house, but maybe if I move them around, when the seasons change, and the sun changes angle, they will do OK, Ed

Thats the trick Ed, put them in morning or afternoon sun for winter, and have them under trees or something in Summer to keep off the midday heat, or under the eaves of your roof? I'm sure you'll find plenty of places to try.

Thanks Sue, I think I'm hooked too, I've got a box of them coming every day, for the next few days, including some full grown ones, I couldn't get little ones of, I hope to get them to produce pups, I'll take some photos, Ed
