Bromeliad seeds

My old bromeliad flowered and grew a seed pod months ago. Seeds sprouted but only about 6 grew leaves. Any idea why? I repotted 3 of them. Planning to pot more. What should I do with the seedlings with no leaves? How can I get them to grow? #Bromeliad #HappyPlants #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #seeds #InterestingPlantsToGrowFromSeed

What do you mean?? The plants are tiny and grow super slow, but I need to find a way to make the seeds grow leaves. Any ideas? They have roots but no leaves

Growing bromeliads from seeds is a long process and can take many months. I see that you've succeeded in the difficult part and have been very patient. This means you've done everything right and are on the right track. Keep being patient with the others that haven't germinated yet.

Should I put them in a darker space? They all have roots but no leaves. The seeds were 100% germination then, cause each one sprouted. There isn’t a seed that didn’t sprout. 😁 the seedlings are super old, but I have them in moist paper towel in a ziplock bag right now, how should I change it up?
