Crazy coincidence I was just thinking about this practice by frogs putting tadpoles in bromeliad plants. I was thinking about it because I have a bromeliad in a terrarium that is a clone from the first one I got about 7 years ago, it's about 4 years old on its own and it's starting to flower, which I understand only occurs once in its life.
