Perhaps this is a silly question, but is it possible for a Tillandsia to produce pups before blooming? I have a Tillandsia that I just noticed is forming a pup at its base but it hasn't bloomed and it's not blushing to give me a hint that it's going to bloom anytime soon. I've read where pups form after blooming but I couldn't find any information about before blooming... Thanks!
