Wow! That's incredible! Does this bromeliad grow outside for you?

Deffo worth the wait PT!

Delonix - Puya are grown outdoors in milder parts of the country but here I prefer to grow it in a pot so that I can move them undercover if the weather turns nasty. But most of the year mine are outdoors.

Wow! That's amazing it grows outside most of the year.

They're pretty cold hardy but dislike our winter wet. So when it get really cold it's best to give them some protection unless they're completely dry.

Yes, that's for most bromeliads.
