    Yes, bromeliads can be grown from seed if the flower has been pollinated. Propagation from pups tends to have a high success rate, while growing from seed may have a lower success rate, depending on the species. The number of pups varies by species, but it sounds like your bromeliad is very healthy if it has so many pups.

    Here are some articles on how to grow bromeliads from seed:

    It is very common to have multiple pups from a single Bromeliad. You will generally end up with more then you started with.
    It's fun to keep them or gift them to another garden friend.

    Let the plant die back naturally and then nurture the next generation.

    Your Bromeliad has reached the end of it's life cycle.

    If your plant produced a 'pup', you can remove it and place it in a pot.
