Thank you for providing a concise How To video that has 2:30 of content, rather than 17 minutes of fluff and 1 minute of content!!!

Great, straight to the job at hand, no cutesy, tootsy, filler talk. He told me when to take it and what size the pup should be, 1/3 size of the mother plant, what size container and the proper planting medium to plant it in. He was confident , quick and most rickeytick. Love it! Five Freaking Stars Baby! *****

100 agreed. I love and appreciate these kinds of creators the most lol

Thank you for an informative and concise video. You give more information in a few minutes than some videos do in half an hour!

VERY HELPFUL, STRAIGHT TO THE POINT, & INFORMATIVE. THANK YOU

I barely take care of a bromeliad I got from the store (only water it when it looks very dry). And I have found a pup!! I am so excited to have found this video first. Thank you!

I received a bromeliad and had no idea you needed to take the pups off. Mine has four on it now! THANKS for showing me how to.

finally I found a video where you show this process! it seemed impossible to find!! Thanks, simple and clear!

So glad I came across your video. I bought a Bromeliad last year, in bloom and it’s already produced two pups. Glad to know the Mother Plant can still be kept after cutting away old bloom and may even produce more pups. I thought I had to discard it.

Great video, straight to the point no music no BS thank you😊👍🏼

Simple and easy to understand. Thank you!!

Thank you for the video. My mother plant is dying but it produced three lovely healthy pups. I'm going to take care of them right away ☺️

Long winded folks, we never make it to the end of your videos....thank you!!!

My bromeliad produces 5 pups at a time! Can't wait to sell them

Thanks for the concise, informative video I’m doing this procedure in a few days!

Thanks. Direct and to the point. Easy to understand

I have some pups that are still too small but this video was very helpful. Thanks

Thanks. My pup is young, so I need to wait awhile. I appreciate the help.

My mother plant is just losing the last of her fuchsia color and has already produced 2 pups but they are small. Glad I saw this vid and didnt try to remove them too soon. I'm hoping she'll give me more pups before she's done. Will the pups always produce the same color flower as the mother plant?

@@WhiteLiteBarbie Update: The mother an her pups died. I don't think I'll ever buy another Brom again. I transplanted the pups exactly correct and they literally lost all their roots and was pretty much one leaf wrapped around another that would slowly die off. I'm over them. Every time I see them in the store I turn my nose up and walk right past them now LOL

yes, you can absolutely water the soil. it activates any slow-release fertilizer you might have mixed in and also encourages root growth on offsets. just make sure you don't OVERWATER the soil, that's all ;)

Loving the frogs in the background!

Clear and to the point. Thanks. I have 3 pups to see about.

Thank you so much, this is so helpful. I have some matchstick bromeliads that I want to break off and gift my aunt. This really helps

Very helpful and to the point -- thank you!

Thank you! This was very helpful...

Nice video.i love bromeliads.we have same varieties in my country.greetings from Indonesia.

Hubby bought me a bromeliad for my birthday. I was checking it out since I'd never had one noticed several small brown worms on the soil,they burrowed in the soil when I disturbed them. Took plant out of pot and took all dirt away from roots,dirt was full of worms. Washed the roots clean and reported. Weird !!! Hope it lives it's so pretty.

Thank you for the great info! Awesome!

Do the pups grow roots from the bottom of them once they have been potted ? Because mine haven't

should you fill the pup's cup with water while it's still connected to the mother?

How long after repotting a pup do you start putting water in the cup? Can you fill it right away? I don't want to waterlog it of its too early.

Will the pup come away with roots? And how often would I water it

Very helpful, thank you

you wouldn't believe it but me not knowing much about them, re-potted mine that I got for my birthday last September, in nothing but top soil :O yikes, I know, after reading up on these because I am doing spring re-potting and such. The thing is alive and well AND has many pups! Needless to say after doing some researching and video viewing, I am going to do it the right way this time! Just thought it was so wild how it not only lived, but thrived, in nothing but top soil with the exception of the soil that was in the original container!

Enjoy watching this video and thanks for sharing .

great vid, thank you!

If it all ready have roots can you air root it

What do you do with the mother plant after it’s bloomed and has thrown pups?

Once potted up and a lot smaller how often do you water them ?

Thanks!! useful video!!

Yes, they can. But they tend to dry out. You have to mist them with distilled water.

Someone gave me a bromelaid plant and did not know anything about baby pulps. I think it had a pulp in the plant but it rotted. Should i let it stay connected to the plant? If not how do i remove it?

Hi. I have the exact bromeliad as you. But I noticed within 2 months of having it indoor, the pink on the leaves is starting to fade. The plant gets really good grow lights - 12hrs/day and the light is about 8 inches from the plant. Is it the light that is causing the pink coloration to fade? Am I giving it too much light? Does anyone else having this problem? Any help on this subject is greatly appreciated! Much thanks!

Thank you!

when is it too late to remove a pup? mine is about the same size as the mother now. I didn't know this was how they reproduced!

So... I can see you asked this 5 years ago. But just by chance if you still want to kno the answer to your question- it’s never too late. The longer you leave the pups on the mother, the faster those pups will flower. If you want more pups and don’t care how long it takes for them to flower (usually 1-3 years), then remove them earlier and the mother will produce more.

Would this be the same for 'blue rain'? I have a plant and the flower died. I cut back where the flower was and now I can see a couple of small pups on the side, the parent plant has a few black patches on the leaves. Thanks.

Sonia Gooderham This method only works for bromeliads and similar plants like Crinum Lily, Cycads, etc.

Thank you.

Can I use an orchid blend with top soil too or a cactus blend fast draining soil .

@Seabreezenurseries239

Robert Lampron Yes, both of those will work just as well. You will probably want to add a little potting soil to the orchid blend as it can dry out a little too quickly sometimes for bromeliads.

Excellent video. Thanks for not making it 10 minutes long haha!

Hi I bought my first bromilade and I realized when I brought it home it was dying but then I realized I had a pup on it's way. I kept it attached to the mother as long as I could but recently I realized the pups leaves weren't looking so hot. Today I removed the pup and planted it. The roots were in tact. The big mystery is this. My bromeliad has white stripes on it but today as I was examining I touched the white stripes and it came right off! This is such a mystery to me. I cant imagine powdery mildew would be the culprit but that's kind of what it looks like to me although I have no idea how powdery mildew would form perfect stripes all the same length. Does anyone have any ideas what this could be? It's also on my pup too and like I said it looks like a design from the plant but when you touch it, it comes right off. Any advice would be appreciated thank you!

My pup got disconnected from its heal what will happen

So this might be a stupid question but I got a plant from home Depot yesterday, it says bromeliad plastic it, is that mean it's not real the leaves almost feel unreal or is that just the type of leave. It looks like there's new growth on the side from one of the pups, o the like at lest 4 pups and one of them had the start of a new flower, but I'm wondering if there is such thing as a bromeliad plastic it doesn't look like the other one I got. Parts of the moms leaves looks like there dieing at the tips but the leaves feel so unreal. What do you think I just don't want to be watering a plant that isn't real

Tatyana Sumakova That is just the grower's term for that particular SKU. It basically means "bromeliad in plastic container". It is a live plant.

Loving this Covid-19 taught me new things.

Hi, I potted about 6 bromeliad pups and they are not growing roots. I've had one for over 3 months and it still hasn't grown roots. I use orchid soil and don't pot deeply. Am I doing something wrong, or does it take a long time to grow roots

@Seabreezenurseries239

Cheryl Early Bromeliads will not root very well in orchid mix. They often grow in the ground in habitat, or if they are growing in trees (ephiphytic), it is in decomposing pockets of bark and debris which acts more like potting soil than orchid mix.

Thanks mine has two pups

Nice

Will the pups always produce the same color flowers as the mother plant?

Lolllll you’re kidding right? This guy obviously knows what he’s doing. When you repot a plant, or pot it for the first time like in this video, you always soak the potting mix with water. Always.

Tnx d info

How often and how do you water the pups?

Once a week. Soak it well

What kind of potting soil on

i just found out these plants existed because they magically appeared in our box stores in florida.

it is not absolutely necessary to repot it. just water the 'cup' in the middle of the bromeliad and don't water the soil... it should do just fine

Why does it keep showing 3 stars when I type five in? ***** either way, it is still a five star performance

Are you doing this in an arcade??

Im sorry but this plant isn’t called Luna Albo Marginated, as Albo Margined means white edges, which your plant doesn’t have. Yours is more likely Luna variegated.

Yes, you are correct. This was simply a small error in the cultivar name at the time the video was made.

Typically, it is best to plant each pup into its own pot, this way it has plenty of uninterrupted space in which to root. The more pups you pull off, the more the mother plant will produce!

yes, you can absolutely water the soil. it activates any slow-release fertilizer you might have mixed in and also encourages root growth on offsets. just make sure you don't OVERWATER the soil, that's all ;)
