Incredible information! This video was like going to a 4 year bromeliad college in just 7 minutes ✌🏽😉LF73👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Yes I just noticed this recently, I put the dying momma's in a cardboard box, with the leaves coming out of the top of the box. Water them now and again and if they have little nodes at all, they will grow. Also small pups on their own can survive.

My friend just gave me a very ugly dying bromeliad. I’ve never had bromeliads before so was wondering how I could revive it. Thank you for this information! There IS hope!

this is great we're about to start our bromeliad garden your video is a great help and inspiration

I've had one of these abandoned to my care for about 10 years. It bloomed twice. It was in a nice pot. Wanted the pot back so I dug it out, divvied it out to 3 generic empty pots pots into a well-placed spot soon to become an awesome hedge! I kinda got the bug for this plant now. Great video and my "like" boosted you (deservedly) to 1K. Subscribed for more. :)

This is my most favorite plant..I bought one this summer and it had 3 nice size pups ! So I cleaned the mommie plant up..refreshed her soil..and she is producing 2 more now ! I had also pitched another bromeliad and she has 2 very small pups peeking out ! So excited ! I want to learn how to grow them out of the soil... Great video !!

Great information. I love bromeliads and have a few now soon to be many. Keep producing these great videos.

I did not know Bromeliads were semi-terrestial until I saw the actual root condition In your former video. It is why I mounted that one you sent me. Doing very well. New growth is coming on and should be nice with the brassavola and encyclia. Let them mix. I am fine with that. All on one mount! Nice second to hold drinks. Please do a Garden Tour Highliting blooms!

U r truly the orchid doc...(brom)💯..iv'e learned so much fr u, i dare to tell u i got 2 broms sooo big,bloomed last yr..so,im going to my garden like a.s.a.p.thanks gurl🤗

I've been following you on tiktok and just accidentally found this video! Love your content thanks for posting

I decided to try something like this before I saw your video. Noticed life coming from the mama plant I thought might be dead and am waiting for pups to show now!! 😉

Wowww! Awesome. I wouldn’t even check when mom started dying I would just throw it out. Now I know better 😀👍🏻 thanks!!!

Thanks I am just starting with bromeliads and would have thrown mama away after the first batch of pups. So years later still good advice.

Thanks for advice 👍It's very helpful! Now my first bromy rise 3 pups ( love the name) and I keep mom longer♡

Good on you, experimentations is the only way, thank you❤🎉

great tips on getting more pups, excellent video

You are correct! I planted rhizome of cryptanthus and got new pups!

Agree when you removed the pups more comes out I seen it already

Thank you for the wonderful Tips.now im gonna check my Bromeliads

Hey PhalPal Maria, I’m just saying!!!! Another great video. Keep up the good work. I can’t wait to show you my house plants. Happy Growing from your PhalPal Durrell

Very helpful tips! Thank you for sharing!!

Missing your orchids Maria especially cattleyas and vandas

Nice to see your videos again 🤗🤗🥰🥰

Thank you for the info on getting babies very helpful

Thank you so much for your insight and sharing, you are the One

Very interesting, learn something new. Thank you. Ermauth

I think that if you trimmed back the "dying mommas" foliage, not to the root but cut back to where she still cups some food and water. Then no energy is wasted trying to maintain the dying foliage. All of her energy that she gathers from her core functions of gathering nutrients and creative life energy, will be more narrowly dedicated to sustaining her species via propagation. Again instead of supporting what's left of her. Kind of like when you do big trimmings or sculpting to bonsai, where a significant amount of foliage is removed. You would also cut back the roots. Because the tree no longer need as many roots to sustain the lesser amount of branches and foliage. If not trimmed, the roots would likely die back anyway, just because of the tree trying to find balance in itself. But then you run the risk of decay and root rot infecting the parts of the tree you meant to keep. So it is better to just remove a percentage of the trees roots, based on the percentage of reduction of the foliage removed. And instead have it use its energy in struggling to grow new roots, rather than using that same energy struggling at fighting root rot and decay under the soil. As well then you've already allowed death to creep in. In this case natural death has already arrived. So why not give all of its life energy to new life...

Very interesting Maria! I never knew that.

awesome 💗 🌄🌿🌿🌿🌿

Waiting of your instructions 😊

Makes sense mamas are willing to keep going to keep their babies alive and well even if they are on the brink of death plant or animal alike

You are amazing

Fantastic info 👍

Lovely

Top video Thank you for sharing

with this kind of knowledge, I would be a fool not to subscribe to your channel. SUBD😉

Plants are so freaking amazing! I just love how even when they seem mostly dead there is life! LIFE I TELL YOU!!! Ah hahahahahha!!!

Thanks for the great video. I'm definitely going to be doing this to one of my dying mamas. Quick question - at 4:25, you were showing pups you were growing from a dead mama, and the two on the right were growing elongated and skinny. I have a mama that's growing a couple of pups like this. Is there something I can do to get the elongated pups to thicken and grow more typically?

❤️

Nice job lady

Recently re-added a dyckia to my collection, weird thing that made me need it, it pupped without flowering. (It has an unusual life cycle for its kind, so it must be a genetic mutation.)

This is very helpful! I got a brom from work that they said was no longer useful. It still had some colour so I kept it but then it started to rot and die in the center. I pulled that part out and now it has 3 pups! Can I trim mama’s leaves shorter without causing damage to the core?

Do you just keep water in the bucket with the dying pup or will that rot the roots ? Also I just bought osmocoat slow relapse fertilize for my new pup I bought . It says spring and fall but should I add fertilizer to the top now ?

Hi. 🤩👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 Thank u for showing. Can butterfly plant use d same method?

Hi Maria !!!!

Should I transfer my dying plant to a larger pot to get more of the pups?

Ma'am do you have chocolate striped bromalaid?? I seen some outside Wholefoods store they look like feathers. Black with white marks. So beautiful.

Curious I have a bromeliad that disconnected from the rizome is there a way to save the bromeliad and get it to produce roots??? It looks pretty good overall but for some reason it fell over and didn’t wanna stay connected to the rizome root :(

Do you use cactus soil too ???

Plz mam can you tell me in what sibstance I can plant my bromeliad Im a biginner. I lived a tropical country plz help mam.

What soil medium use for bromeliad growing

How do you take the pups off of the main Mamma?

My bromeliads has no roots already can it still hava a baby pups?

I appreciate the information but not the robotic talking.

how to watering ?

That my son plant born Aug.sodiac Leo

ugh, but they get so stinky when they start to die and rot. 🤢
