I'll be keeping my pups on the parent plant until they are between 1/3 - 1/2 the size of the original plant or when the bromeliad starts to die back. There is adequate consolation, however: When the bromeliad's single bloom flush has run its course and the long-lasting flowers fade, many varieties continue to produce stunning foliage for quite some time. If the roots are still underdeveloped, the plant might not stay upright in the pot, moving freely around, resulting in damage. Remove the bromeliad from the plastic bag after seven to 10 days and fill the cup with water. Bromeliad pups can be removed from the mother plant, and grown individually.

In addition to unexpected epiphyllum blooms, I also have several bromeliads sending up their bloom-spikes. The blooms were clearly past their prime and ready for snipping. Some people apply fertilizers to the mother plant, soon after flowering, so as to promote growth of pups. You will soon have plenty of healthy pups to transplant and replace the plant you started with, and they will bloom within one to three years. Bromeliad Pups. If a photo is not mine I attribute to its source. The electric colors of Billbergias don't even seem real--even tho I know they are. Once the flower finishes blooming, you'll want to remove them. By now you should see some pups developing, which basically look like little miniature versions of your original plant. Powered by I'm trying to upload a video and it'a not working. Thanks for showing those. After discovering microscopic bloom on my Spanish moss, I can now see the similarities with Billbergia blooms, although on a wholly different scale. This looks like a bloom in the making, but so far there's nothing bloom-like in the cup (NOID on this one too). If you would like to use one just ask, chances are I'll say yes.

The number of such pups may vary from one plant to another. This tells the bromeliad to begin focusing more energy on its pups. If it doesn't, you can get some more apples and repeat the process. 99% of the photographs on this blog were taken my me. You can see the leaves are still going strong, but post-bloom means that my bromeliad is nearing the end of its life.Take a pair of sharp scissors or shears and snip the flower head as close to the base of the stem as possible. Bromeliads like to work at their own pace, so you'll need lots of patience to coax blooms from some plants. Place your overgrown plant or pups into the new potting medium firmly, but not too deep or shallow, only up to the base of the leaves to prevent a crown rot. Simple theme.
This upgrade seems like it was rolled out before it was completely tested.You may not be able to plant bromeliads in the ground and leave them there but your plants look a whole lot better than mine do spending their entire lives outside!But I've seen your plants and they looked fabulous!A while ago, it was pointed out to me that Tillandsia and Bromeliads are related.

Though that seems like a bummer, especially if you bought the bromeliad for its blooms, the flowers actually last for a good portion of time—generally 3 to 6 months. While the mother plant eventually dies after blooming, many new pups are left--often for the next year or two. There are usually pups to carry on, so it's not a complete loss and the main plant can take a long time to die, I have one that bloomed several years ago and is just finally looking so bad that I cut it back.Great flowers. Though the pups can be removed at any stage, it is best to detach them when they reach one-third the size of the mother plant. After the bract is dead, the "mother" plant will send out a series of offsets, or bromeliad pups, from the base of the plant. (It's really the bracts that people like in bromeliad flowers.)
