It bloomed! How to Get Bromeliad Flowers from Pups (Part 3)

Welcome to HealthyHousePlants.com, where we teach you all about gardening indoors. If you’d like to support my show and get help growing your houseplants, check out my Patreon below.

Today, I’m really excited for this video, which is part three of how to get more bromeliad flowers from pups. This beauty was originally a pup, as shown in a video from December 2021. I checked in again with this plant in January 2022 to show you how well the pup was growing. You can find previous videos on how to divide your pups, plant new ones, and encourage them to flower.

Here is the resulting plant—really pretty, as you can see in the close-up. This plant has been growing for quite a while, and I want to make it clear that the process can take time. Patience is key, as it can be a long wait for those pups to produce a beautiful flower. I kept the plant watered and in a bright light location, but not in direct sunlight. I fertilized occasionally; I’ll link below to some good fertilizers for bromeliads. There is no rushing this procedure; it’s a long game.

As mentioned in previous videos, part one shows how to separate and plant the pups. Eventually, you will have another beauty. This plant started blooming about a month ago, with the coloration showing up even two months prior. The flowers typically last for a few months if kept watered (but not overwatered) and not exposed to high heat or direct sunlight.

Once the flower fades, cut it back and wait for new pups to grow. You can then start the whole procedure again. To ensure you always have beautiful bromeliads flowering in your indoor garden, consider having multiple plants at different stages.

I also covered care in another video, which you can check out for more information. This video is a check-in on this beautiful pup to show that it did finally flower. I have others harvested from the same plant and am waiting for their blooms as well. This was the first to bloom.

Thank you for stopping by today! Please leave any comments about indoor gardening tutorials you’d like to see. Remember to like, comment, subscribe, and share this video, and click the bell if you’d like to be notified when new videos are released.
