What's the trick to germinate them?
I've read it takes few days but mine are not moving yet, it's almost 2 months.

How long did it take you to see something move?

I dont remember exactly but it took a long time. I was suprised when I saw them even sprout into small pineapple like plants, I assumed the seeds weren't viable. Probably longer than 2 months.

I'm gonna start probably selling the crowns soon that spread from the main plant.

I'd just keep waiting, they take a while but I always got 100% germination

still have some, the previously flowering plants are now unripe green fruits and will have even more seeds in a couple weeks.

Does your plant look like mine? I have difficulty distinguishing between B. balansae and B. pinguin, and I'd like to see what other people are calling by those names.

i can't really tell at the stage, since these aren't my plants I haven't seen them at that stage. Take more photos once the flowers and fruit are more developed. If it's bromeia balansae I'm very interested in seeds

I was leaning more towards B. balanse as well. These are very easy to propogate by offset (pup) so that I've never bothered to save any seeds. I guess it might be tricky getting a plant to you in the mail. I'll watch for seed this year. They usually bloom in late summer in Texas.

id be interested in offsets too if you'd be willing to sell those

I just walked down the hill and picked some dry fruits off last year's inflorescence. I got 12 seeds from the dried fruits. The seeds are tough little round spheres. My guess is that they're viable.
I also have a medium-sized offset that I could send, but they'd be a medium sized box (24in square) and I'm not sure whether they'd get intercepted in the mail to PR.
You could start with the seeds and ask me for a pup if they don't germinate...up to you.
