The Bromeliad mother plant dies after flowering but produces pups (babies) before going through that cycle. Fortunately for us they’re very easy to propagate! I want to show you how to remove & pot up bromeliad pups so your plants can live on.

The bromeliad pups are very easy to remove. You need to let them grow to a fairly good size, at least 6″ tall, so that the roots have started to form. The bigger the pups, the more root there will be. In the video, I grab them firmly at the base & pull it away from the mother while keeping a good grip on her too. You can also use a clean, sharp knife to cut the pup away.
I put my pups in a shaded corner on the patio right off my kitchen. They’re protected from the strong desert sun & the winds which tend to whip around in the afternoon. Because it’s the end of May & temps are nearing triple digits, I water them once or twice a week. You may not need to water yours that often.
It’s nice to know that even though the bromeliad with the pretty flower you bought eventually dies, babies will appear for you to pot up & watch grow. The lineage is carried on!
