What do I do with all these pups growing off my bromeliad that has already bloomed?

Bromeliads only live for 2–5 years, blooming once then slowly dieing as it puts all its energy into new pups. Replanting the pups (I'd google how to do it properly) lets you continue the lifespan of your plant even though the parent won't make it. Good luck!

Yea I figured the poor girl is going to plant heaven soon lol I just don’t want her babies going with her 🙈

Don’t separate them. Tried that once with a cryptanthus and they all died 😬

So then I leave them in the same pot to grow on their own??

I recently started propping three snake moonshine cuts in water (the same big jar). It took 2-3 weeks but they are all furry with mini roots now!
