They are beautiful plants! I love them too! Thanks for watching and HAPPY GROWING!

It can actually take quite a while for roots to develop on the pups so it is key that the stem portion dries out completely. Letting it air dry for a couple of days before planting will assist it. After you’ve planted it you can water it as normal allowing it to dry slightly between watering. You may not notice any root growth for a couple of months but just as long as the plant retains its color and vitality it is still alive and will eventually grow its roots. Just be patient. Thanks so much for watching and wishing you the best with growing your pups. HAPPY GROWING! 🤗

Thanks so much for joining me on my plant growing adventures and I am glad the video benefitted you. 🤗 Usually to get more vibrant colors you have to keep it in brighter light. There are some that actually expose the deep red color because it is actually is a reaction of the plant getting stressed due to intense light. There are many kinds that can tolerate high light conditions while others can not. Usually the thinner papery ones can’t and will burn easily if given too much light. The thicker leaved ones are normally the ones that can tolerate more.

Omg 🤗 Thankyou!!! That explains it so well and let’s me know I definitely been keeping mine in way too shady of a place!!!

@@alexhodges4847 Yes, definitely give it a go. I have some Neoregelia Fireballs that turn a deep green in shadier conditions and the only way to get it to turn that intense red is to give it some full sun at least part of the day. Wishing you the best of luck with yours and enjoy!

The plant "collector" (;D...) in me is triggered o.o💗.

Thank you...and I can't help it!!! I've got to share my wild frenzy of an addiction with the world!!! I don't want to be alone in my boat...I'd rather have lots and lots of company! LOL!

@@dannyboii9117 It's easy to tempt other plant addicts...it doesn't take much does it? LOL!

Hello there! great to hear that you can get a beautiful variety in your area as well. I am in Florida, USA.

HA HA HA!!! ME TOO!!! I've been getting myself into some major plant trouble! I have 2 haul adventures I haven't even posted yet!!! YIKES! SOMEBODY SAVE ME FROM MYSELF!!! LOL!

@@PictureMaria1 I miss my Greenhouse so much :'(

I'm not having any luck :( I tried to propagate 2, but still no roots after 3 months (but they're not dead)

@@jenf4435 hopefully they will begin to show roots this spring/summer

🤗🤗🤗 Thanks for watching and HAPPY GROWING!!!

Thanks for watching and HAPPY GROWING!

Well I guess it just depends on how strongly you feel about the eyesore. If it were me I would cut off the damaged leaves and call it a day. I have had dying mother bromeliads in terrible shape continue to bloom sets of pups with no problem. I doubt cutting the leaves would stunt or hinder the growth of pups. But that is what I would do if it were me. But of course it is totally your call. Either way I believe that the pups will grow on schedule. I have a video showing how hardy bromeliads are in one of my propagation videos where I show how I used the stem/rhizome with no leaves to produce pups...so they are unbelievably hardy when it comes to pup production. Thanks for watching and HAPPY GROWING!

@@PictureMaria1 Thanks will cut tomorow, keep up the great work

@@dylanweaver7827 Not a problem and I think you will be much happier with your decision. Also I would cut at an angle so that it can better hide disguise the cut. Here is the video on propagation and producing more pups from dying bromeliad, just incase you wanted to see it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-U-ct0Cv3EGI.html

Yes, they are pretty easy to care for.

Ελένη Καραβ Thank you. The bromeliads are awesome plants and the cryptanthus bromeliads aren’t generally expensive unless it is a rarer variety.
