What are Dyckia Plants? Dyckia are bromeliads sharing that group’s characteristic rosette shape. They are not technically succulents, as they do not store water in their leaves, but they do have similar thick, waxy foliage. Dyckia are xeriscape plants and can withstand long periods without moisture.

How do you repot a Dyckia?

If it has no roots, treat its base with rooting hormone before potting. Plant the offset in a fairly small pot using a well-draining mix and leave it there until the plant has a chance to establish itself. Most pups are slow to root and start growing.

How do you grow Dyckia from seed?

Place the seeds on the surface, about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart from each other (or farther). Drip some water on the seeds to moisten them. Light helps the seeds germinate, so don’t bury them. Until the seeds sprout, ensure that the surface soil does not dry out.

How do you get seeds from bromeliads?

If your bromeliads are primarily grown outdoors, it is likely that they will have been pollinated and can produce viable seeds. Once the seed pod develops it is ready it will come off of the plant easily with a slight pull. There are many seeds inside of a single seed pod.
