Silver Vase care

17 years ago

Hello All, I'm posting pictures of my silver vase (Aechmea fasciata) that I've had about 6 months. When I bought it there was a beautiful bloom and one pup. Now there are 3 pups with one seemingly attached to (growing out of) another. To keep this plant healthy what do I need to do for it, if anything? I've cut off both blooms (one of the pups had bloomed) since they were old and dried. Thanks!

you can gradually cut the mom away when she gets unsightly or take the pups off in the spring and pot them up

Thanks for the information. Is it best to continue putting water in the mother's cup or do the pups need water in their cups too?

I have a beautiful silver vase which produced two pups about 6 months ago. Once they were big enough, I cut off and replanted the pups. It has been about a month and a half since I repotted the pups and they still havent rooted. They are beginning to dry out and wilt. Any suggestions??
