| I knew it was only one but one what? I thought it was only one location but voted - A plant that only blooms once, then dies. Don't ask, me, why? |

| Rather bittersweet to know a bloom is so beautiful and then the plant will die.

| The word is used to describe the habit of some meconopsis plants.
Some do not let them flower the first year, so the plant is stronger the second year. |

| And if I understand correctly if the bromeliad blooms are stopped, it will produce more pups instead of dying so quickly. |

| Is there a term describes plant reproduces its offsprings by means of making pups instead of/ or besides the ability of making flowers and seeds? I think bromeliads reproduce this way before the plant die? |

| That is okay as you are learning.
We are all not experts,but gardeners who learn from each other.
There are probably topics which you know better than the rest of us. |

| Sure, there are! Thanks for the vote of confidence.
Due to experience I know how to kill a clematis (too much water), how not to prune a rose, waiting for the broccoli to flower is not a good idea! My expertise is killing dahlia tubers over winter. Write for details - LOL. |

| I always thought bromeliads were, but never hurts to learn something new every day! I thought they were monocarpic, but maybe they are something else? |
