Mine has one coming up on the side but its only about an inch tall now. Then do you put it in water or dirt to root? Also when the leaves get brown do I just remove them as close to the bottom as possible. Thanks, Bonnie Do you cut or pull off the pups.

I believe your best bet at this point would be to begin the propagation process. Bromeliads can be propagated by removal of "pups" or "offsets" from the "mother plant" (asexual) or by seed (sexual). Here is my <a title="Bromeliads Propagation Overview" href="http://www.bromeliads.info/archives/bromeliads-propagation#more-21">Bromeliads Propagation Overview</a>, I hope it is able to provide you with the guidance you need to create new life for your Bromeliad.

Cut it where death ends and life begins. :) @Linda - You can cut off the dead bromeliad bloom or wait for it to dry enough to pull it off. Cut it where death ends and life begins. :)
