I'll try that. Thanks! Would it help to add something to promote
root growth? Do you know what that type of tropical is called?

Thanks again for the advice.

Nyssa.

Try looking up Eucomis on Google image search. Its nickname is the
pineapple plant.

But the flower doesn't match - Eucomis has white or greenish flowers,
and certainly not long red buds.


pineapple
and comes in a varietly of colours like red and yellow and orange.
The plant I bought was in a small 6 inch pot I think, and it looked
like it had three close knit sections (there were three long red
buds
with leaves surrounding each so I assumed it could be split into
three
smaller plants).
