I picked up 10 reduced to £1.50 a plant at a local garden centre as they were all dying off, but because of watching your video I could see they at least had a couple of pups on each plant, now I’m running out of pots 😂

Do not get rid of the mother plant just put it back in a pot and it will keep sending out pups until it died

At last someone who i can actually listen to (a non annoying english voice). Found this video so helpful for my new purchase and I will be be back and looking at your others.

Thank you for your answer to my comment . Enjoyed the presentation on the Bromeliad .

I did exactly the same experiment last year:) and my conclusion is: if you want bushier and bigger plant leave the pops on the mother plant. The babies grow bigger and faster on their mum and she may even produce more babies later on - like mine did. I don't know about flowering yet, but my guess is that the mother plant will flower quicker as the kids grow faster on her :)

She is beautifully orange red, but her pot is super tightly packed in wet coconut and it did seem a bit suffocating in there. So I am glad my intuition was right. She already shoots out pups on all sides. I put her next to my orchids that also love bright light but nothing direct. I hope she and her babies will do well.

They are an epiphyte which means they don't take up nutrients from the soil but from the air and moisture in the centre of the plant, the roots are just to anchor the plant in the pot so it;'s not too essential to worry about the soil really. I wouldn't worry too much.

The small black dots could be fungus, this can happen from the insect damage. What you have done sounds like the right thig to do, if you can remove the webs and any insects you can see whith a cotton bud with neem oil on this will help, check the underside of the leaves and all the small joints between the leaves.

So I bought mine about 2-3 weeks ago (it was a gift otherwise I would just go back to the same nursery myself) and complain they sold on after it flowered and in its dying cycle as I never got to see any flower) and the colored leaves are Already turning brown. But no pups have grown. Will the pups shoot out after the mother plant flowers and starts to go brown or do you think the nurse took those pups away from me for themselves? 😮 Is this plant useless now?

My pups barely came away with any routes will it die?

What can I do if the flower falls off

Dear Mr. Andy. I loved your very informative video! Thank you from a new subscriber!! I have a question though. I have a Burgundy Bromeliad. It has spines on the leaves and she is beautiful and her bloom is just beginning to emerge from the center. My husband bought her for me several months ago and she has done quite well on my front porch (I live in Florida where it is almost always humid and sunny). I have noticed she is pupping quite well also. So well in fact, that her pups are starting to get large enough to open. This is causing the foliage on my mother plant to get pushed around, bent, etc... However, due to the fact that she is just starting her bloom, I don't want to cut the pups off yet. I don't think leaving her in the same pot for another 3-6 months or so is a good idea either. What should I do? Any tips?

@HouseplantHacks

3 жыл бұрын

I don't think that the pups will cause the mother any issues, they do push together as they grow but this would be the same in nature and they don't receive our help so I would say it will be fine, they don't need repotting as the roots only anchor the plant in the pot so won't get any issues from that side of things, it sounds like it is very happy where you are keeping it to be growing so well, so I would be happy to just enjoy it and if you get flowers from the pups too it would look even better.

Yes of course! You need to get to know youyr plant, in different countries with different heat and light levels the watering requirment will be differet, they are reasonably drought tolerant so if it goes a few days being dry it wont hurt the plant too much, but start with once per week and check the moisture in the plant pot, see how fast it dries out, you can tell by the weight of the put and by putting a finger an inch into the soil. Let it dry out a little and then water again. Over time you will get to know when is the right time to water, it's all part of the fun! Enjoy.

So how much is too much water? What's small amount?

They would normally have some roots to help anchor it where it grows, it's hard to say without looking at it but time will tell if it will be ok. You can also pour a small amount of water into the centre of the plant where it would normally collect rainwater funnelled down from its leaves, this will help hopefully. Good luck with it and keep us posted on how it gets on. :-) Andy

Misting with water is a tricky subject, the water will evaporate quite quickly depending on where you live and how warm/humid it is. Misting is only benefitial while it keeps the plant slightly wet, once it dries out there are no additional benefits so to keep the benefits of misting constantly you would need to mist several times per day, which isn't really practical, a humidifer will create a better environment but at a cost.
