    I was under the impression that Billbergia seeds in general do not age well and should be planted as soon as they are mature. My Billbergia brasiliensis seeds are a couple of years old and were sown in a flat on a heat mat using the baggie method on January 21, 2019. On February 1 when I looked at them again, I found germination well under way.
