Reproduction
Bromelia Hieronymi has seedless fruit so theses plants depend mostly on pollen and animals. As these plants and fruits develop without fertilization, there is different size or shape each time they are producing. This makes the family plant Bromeliaceae diverse. Due to the diversity, there are 60 different species related to the Bromelia Hieronymi.[2]
