Welcome to LKP Plants

Bromeliads are propagated in two ways; from seed and in the lab. In both instances after about a year this process results in a tiny plant, which will be grown further at specialist breeding companies.

Once the plants have reached a height of around 5 cm, they arrive in our nursery as young plants. They are planted in paper pots where they can grow for a few more months. Regular selection means we supply uniform lots to companies where our plants are grown further. The plants, which by this point have reached between 20-25 cm in height, are placed in their final pots and returned to the nursery to mature. After a few months, robots pick up the plants and pass them under a camera. In the next step, three different robots place the plants in containers grouped according to size. After some more time in the greenhouses, the plants are given a growth treatment; 10 to 16 weeks after that the plants in their pots are ready to be sold. They are passed under a camera for a seventh time in the work space before the uniform lots are ready for delivery. The Bromeliad takes almost three years to reach your living room.
