Place a ripe apple in the pot and tightly wrap a plastic bag around the base of it. Leave it for 7 – 10 days. This will create a gas and force the plant to bloom again!

They usually pup easily and the pups look just like a small version of the mother plant and are very easily removed once they are about half the size of the mother

I have a Bromeliad houseplant that appears to have several pups as you call them. It had one huge bloom when I bought it, but nothing since. I don’t know how to “harvest” these pups. Please give instructions. Thanks.

My plant has many shoots and is top heavy…it is turning brown and dying…I want to save it. What can I do. I think it started when i put one of those self watering gloges in it. some of the shoots have come apart i just stuck them in water to see if they will re root…will they? Im going to get some fresh soil to its specs course acitic.
When i first got it i was putting water in the tubes and had a flower emerging but then it pulled back..why….I want to bring this plant back and get it to bloom. Any tips are appreciated here…thank you. Jason

When the bromeliad flower dries up, should it be trimmed off?

I believe this is correct in almost all cases.

Liquid plant food or fertilizer works well.
