![]() Wait until the off sett is around 1/3 of the size of the original mature bromeliad to ensure it is resilient enough to cope with stress before attempting to separate it and it repot it. This provides the right conditions for offsets to emerge and grow. Keep up the bromeliad in a warm, humid room with bright indirect light and keep the soil moist but not saturated. However the good news is that bromeliads often produce off setts or ‘pups’ throughout their life that emerge from the main base of the plant, which can be used to grow a new plant which should eventually mature and produce another flower.Įven after the bromeliad has flowered and the flower has started to turn brown die back, the bromeliad can produce more off setts to replace the main plant.īecause bromeliads produce off setts regularly, this means that you can have a continual supply of bromeliad plants for many years as each individual plant goes through its life cycle and die back.Īfter the bromeliad’s flower turns brown and starts to die back, cut the browning flower back to the base with a sharp pair of pruners. Once the bromeliad has flowered, it has completed its life cycle and the flower and eventually the entire bromeliads turn brown and die back.
