Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) [pictures at http://www.uni-graz.at/~katzer/engl/Rosm...





Many herbs also can be propagated easily by layering. For rosemary select branches near the base of the parent plant. Pull off side branches and leaves and press the stem into the soil. Weight it in place with a stone or pin it with a wire. Keep soil moist until the layered stem roots. Sever the newly rooted plant from the parent and move it to its new location.





While not listed at the UCDavis site, rosemary as well as sage can also be started from cuttings. Take 3-inch stem cuttings from healthy, nonwoody shoots. Cut below a node. Remove foliage from the bottom half of the stem and treat with rooting compound (from local nursery supply, or box store like Wal-Mart or Home Depot). Put on a mist bench or cover with a clear plastic bag (don't seal it up!) to keep it humid.





Oregano (Origanum vulgare L.) [pictures at http://www.uni-graz.at/~katzer/engl/Orig...





Simiarly, it is possible to root stem cuttings of oregano in the Spring (http://pss.uvm.edu/ppp/proptabNO.htm). "...propagation methods like cuttings, division and layering which clone the source plant’s chemistry and flavor are more effective for the other more variable Origanum species and cultivars. Origanums are notorious for mislabeling by commercial nurseries and retail outlets, so if purchasing a starter plant, it’s a good idea to smell it before you buy it." http://www.herbsociety.org/factsheets/or...





Hope this helps....

I am not sure about the Bromelaids, but herbs yes.
