Propagation requires minimal effort through offsets (pups). As the mother plant matures and flowers, it produces small offshoots around its base.

Method: Wait until the offsets reach roughly one-third to one-half the size of the mother plant. Gently pull or slice them away at the base using a sterile blade.

Rooting: Plant the pups directly into a well-draining, moist potting mix (such as a 50/50 blend of peat and perlite or a bromeliad mix). Keep the humidity high and soil lightly damp until roots establish, which usually takes 2 to 4 weeks.

Available in H3 (08.8 cm Pots).
