I’ve never had an air plant produce little pups until now !! What do I do from here ? How long should I wait to water them ?

Nice!! Some of mine have done that too and it’s so cool. Once I visited Florida and saw whole big spheres of air plants growing connected

I’ve had good luck following Planta’s suggestions for watering my air plants, so I would just keep doing what you’re doing. I only had one that got wrecked because I got really busy and left it in water for over a day by accident 😭 It’s still alive thankfully but it’s sad that all the pups it had managed to grow got really damaged

Those new sprouts will eventually break off and the mother will die. Then you can keep growing the baby sprouts and get more.
