We planted this orange bromeliad 5 years ago.  It started to produce pups, we called it baby bromeliad, 2 years later.  And then more babies and grand babies showed up one after another.  Now we have 11 bromeliad plants.  The way to separate pups from main bromeliad is to cut as low as possible to the base using  a sharp knife.  The orange Bromeliad add beautiful color to our back yard, along with filling in some area so passersby can enjoy.
