This guy used to sell on TM before he left for overseas. Have a look at his website, or view his tutorial video - how to harvest pups. Easy to do once you have watched the video. Plus lots of good growing info. Good luck. http://www.bromeliads.co.nz/information.html

You are both most welcome. I learnt how to remove pups from that video. Also he has great lists and photos of broms by growing situation, great to refer to from time to time.

just don't pull the pups away if there are no little roots on them. they tend to rot when in the ground.some broms require cutting away from the parent with a sharp knife.be very watchful where you cut.

On the broms I have I just carefully pull them away from the mother plant, haven't had one die on me yet.
