Looks like it is/was. Did it flower? Has it had pups?

No No! It's healthy. What you are looking at is the parent dying off and the biggest one is the pup. It does that every time it has pups. If I catch it early enough I can save mother and baby by separating them asap after seeing the pup.

Then, I usually sell one after they are both re established. Of course I haven't done this in the last 11 months.

Oh! and mine has never flowered.

Thanks moderator....... :-?

 

Good morning, your plant is a bilbergia, a member of the bromeliad family, it will have a flower stem come up the middle of the plant, they are usually very nice too!.
It could be the one called 'hallelujah'

 

Thank you so very much Jerry and Chocolate.

I have had this plant for about 15 years. I have had the names of all these plants but over the last 3 years it has faded off the label.

My first thought too was bilbergia. I have "nutans" (Queens Tears). Their leaves are almost identical.
It multiplies very fast, but the mother plant doesn't die off. And it only blooms right around the first of December.

 

I have never seen this plant bloom. I have had other Bromeliad bloom. Thanks for all your info.
