I received a small air plant ( bromeliad ? ) as a gift . It has since flowered. I understand that once they flower , they are nearing the end of their life cycle. My plant has now produced a small "offspring" ! How do I separate it and re-establish it in a new receptacle ?
As you can see, at the front base of the plant is the new offshoot. I need to know how to move it to a new receptacle and when.
Your plant may be Tillandsia ionantha. The following document suggests: I suppose the current receptacle can be reused for the offset since the mother plant may have declined significantly or died by the time the pup is ready to be transplanted. Useful information on care for these plants: All About Air Plants | Horticulture and Home Pest News.
