More pups, Yay!
Wanted to show my new pups and didn't want to jump into some one's post.
First, I got another chance at a yellow one. But this one is all yellow. Coming from one of my extra green Golden Hahnii.
These were the Sans I treated with Bayer 3 in 1. No more mealies. I plan to return them to there owner. She loves them.

Comments (1)Not knowing the area where you're living in the US you may have jumped the gun on this...but. With smaller trees it's better to either do roots or branch pruning in the beginning, also better to put it in a larger than normal (or one you would prefer it in). Too late for the first 2. The best way to handle aftercare of a recently shocked tree is this: Water it up very well after repotting--this can be soaking the pot as well as spraying the foliage well. I always had a deeply shaded bed of pine bark mulch which I would bury the pot in. Place the pot in there and cover it...up to the base of the tree...in the mulch. After this pretty much ignore it for a few weeks. Let it sit in the shade and relax, no feeding or water is needed. When it begins to push some new growth it can be moved in with the rest of the trees. In the shade, out of the wind, in a nice moist environment until it recovers...or dies.

Comments (11)Fairytoadmother, you can get one at Kmart or Walmart this spring! :) The one in that pic wasn't real level and I came home one day to find it had burst. What a mess that was. So if you use those kiddie pools they must be very level. :) I can't keep Riley out of my ponds and water gardens. He's a real pain in the butt that way. I've tried everything including completly fencing the ponds and water gardens off to themselves. He went so far to bust out the skirting around our mobile home, went under the trailer and out the other side to get into the water gardens. DH says he's going to fix his butt come spring when I set everything up again. He's going to use one of our electric fencers and put a hot wire around them to keep him out. I'm not sure that will even work. He seems to be able to outsmart us on about anything....See MoreAechmea Marcelino- pics and ? about getting more pups
Comments (3)You can put one or two prills of osmocote down each leaf axis, this often promotes pupping. Remove the pups once they are about one third size and again put one or two prills down each leaf axis. Removing the flower spike will allow the plant to put all of its energy into offset production, however you can leave the flower spike on to attempt to get seed to grow out - this will generally produce more plants but takes time.

Comments (1)Pretty stuff you have there sir. I'm slowly becoming convinced I will never be able to get lush colors like that in this part of the world. For the most part all my tillandsia and bromeliads stay green all year round. Even all the neos! Maybe I should just concentrate on those carnivorous plants... :P...See More

7 years agoAnother picture of that all golden pup. It looks like it might be coming from a bottom under soil leaf! I will not disturb the pot to see but let it grow on.
some more photos of others;
This was just a small 1 inch rhizome that I planted instead of throwing it out. Surprised me to see it sprout and with such vigor.
Pups on my 'Futura 'Asahi' and 'Morgenstern's Futura Aurea' (same plant with different names). Surprised to see pups again so soon after removing last pups and it took years before it started to pup.
Chris gave it to me as variegated but it lost it's variegation. Still a nice Sans.
Thanks again Chris.
My hahnii that I just removed the pups for gifts and it rewarded me with more pups.
My Forescate will not pup but look at those new leaves! That's an Ruby Earth Star next to it.
Another one that refuses to pup but the pups will be much larger and different looking.
Still more the next time, If I am not boring anyone.
