# Hi Plant peeps! I'm after a bit of advice please 🙏 I've had this…

Hi Plant peeps! I'm after a bit of advice please 🙏 I've had this Vriesea Splendens / Bromeliad / Flaming Sword for just over a year now. The flower has long been and gone and I know it won't grow another. However, this pup has been growing from the middle of the mother plant for about a year now and is now bigger than the main plant, everything I have read says the mother plant will naturally die leaving the pup to be repotted and that will eventually flower itself. As you can see the mother plant is showing no signs of going anywhere anytime soon. Do I just carrying on waiting or do I attempt to remove the pup which doesn't look like it'll be easy? Would the pup flower one day if still attached to the Mum? Any advice on what to do please would be much appreciated. If I were to remove the pup, how on earth do I go about it? Thank you.

I definitely would like to know this too! I had the same thing with a 5+ yr old flaming sword and the mom NEVER died off. I got a huge flower from one of the new ones but I had multiple babies going. I finally ripped them apart cause I didn’t know what else to do but I know that wasn’t the right option 😅

Ah OK, so the pup on yours did flower whilst still attached to the Mum? When you ripped them apart, did they survive?

It did! And I threw away the mum cause I had to pretty much destroy it to remove the pups. But the pups are going strong! No flowers since then but I expected that

Oh wow, that's great to know. Thank you!
