BROMELIADS REPRODUCE OFFSPRING CALLED PUPS- MOST ARE FORMED AT BASE OF THE PLANTS.WITH THE EXCEPTIONS OF CRYPTANTHUS AND ORTHROPHYTUM, AND TILL, SECUNDA- THESE ARE FORMED WHERE THE BLOMS WERE, AND WILL GET LOOSE TO THE TOUCH WHEN READY TO REMOVE AND REPOT - THESE ALL GROW IN SOIL, SO REPOT IN REGULAR POTTING SOIL.

    BILBERGIAS, NEOREGELIAS,VRIESEA, GUZMANIA, AND AECHMEA PRODUCE THE OFFSTES FROM THE BASE OF THE PLANT- EITHER INSIDE THE BOTTOM LEAF AT THE BASE OF PLANT OR ON STOLONS AWAY FROM THE PARENT PLANT.

  REMOVE THE PUP, CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO THE PARENT PLANT- ONLY WHEN PUP IS 1/3 TO 1/2  THE SIZE AS THE MOTHER PLANT.   KEEPING THE PUP CLEAN IS VERY IMPORTANT- DONT PLANT TOO DEEP- YOU CAN BRACE THE PLANTS WITH STICKS UNTIL IT ROOTS-

    DONT LET DIRT  GATHER AND STAY INSIDE THE BASE OF THE LEAVES- THIS WILL CAUSE THE LEAVES TO DIE- KEEP LEAVES CLEAN- I KEEP A PAIL OF WATER CLOSE TO MY POTTING BENCH TO KEEP MY HANDS CLEAN AS I POT-

PUPS ON STOLONS- THESE WILL GROW IN SOIL AS WELL AS MOUNTED- IF MOUNTING LEAVE ENOUGH STOLON FOR ATTACHING TO YOUR MOUNT- IF PLACED IN SOIL, CUT SOME STOLON OFF , IF ITS TOO LONG TO FIT YOUR POT.

MOUNTING CAN BE DONE WITH SILICON GLUE- ( NOT HOT GLUE) - STAPELS, SMALL NAILS THROUGH THE STOLON, NOT THROUGH THE PLANT- WALMART SELLS E6000, CLEAR LIQUID NAIL, HARDWARE DEPT.- SILICON BATHTUB SEALER, AND GOOP- VERY  INEXPENSIVE ADHESIVES- NO NEED TO PUCHASE ONLINE AND PAY SHIPPING FEES- BESIDES THE EXTRA COST OF THE PRODUCTS- SORRY, EBAY SELLERS, BUT THE TRUTH IS THE TRUTH.
