Propagation

The easiest way to propagate a Bromeliad is when it is fully matured and its bract is dead. The mother plant will produce multiple offsets or pups at the bottom which you can use for propagation once its reached a height of about 6 inches. Desoil your plant and gently separate the pups from the mother plant. Repot these pups in their own separate containers. Keep its potting mix moist or water their central cups.
