Once the pups are at least a quarter to half the size of the mother plant, they are ready to be propagated.  
Gently twist or wiggle the pup until it detaches from the mother plant. Avoid pulling or cutting, as this can cause damage.  
Place the pups in a location with bright, indirect light and water them regularly as you would with a mature air plant.
