When it comes to separating a bromeliad offset, often called a pup, from the mother plant, many people develop a case of "separation anxiety." I know I did. While it isn't terribly difficult to do, there are some basic guidelines to follow in order to achieve success.

I have a bromeliad that has bloomed and is dying. She had two pups attached. I've waited until they are about 1/3 her size and have separated them together as one and re-potted. Is it best to go ahead and separate them from each other or can I let them take on a little strength together before I separate those two pups from each other?

Thanks

Everybody likes something different but I'll express my opinion on this. Whistling I like it when they clump and fill in a pot. I would leave them together.
Welcome and wish you luck with your bromeliad!
