Are bromeliads easy to care for?
Are bromeliads easy to care for? Bromeliad plant care is easy and requires no special tools or fertilizers. Feed the plants with a half strength fertilizer every month in the growing season. Water needs are easily met by filling the cup at the base of the leaves.
Do you have to remove bromeliad pups?
The pups should be separated from the mother plant after they have developed a small rosette or circle of leaves similar to the mother plant.
How do bromeliads produce pups?
Seeds are sown in moist sphagnum moss or sterile potting medium. The medium and seeds must be kept moist in a warm location to sprout. A quicker and easier method of bromeliad propagation is by division. This means waiting until pups form and gently cutting them away from the dying parent.
