Rarely — tidying as needed, one-off rosette removal after bloom. Regel's Nidularium is a tidy rosette bromeliad that needs very little pruning. Remove dead or damaged outer leaves at the base whenever they appear. As with all Nidularium, the mother plant blooms once then declines; remove it cleanly after flowering once the offset pups are well established.
