Pruning tillandsia andreana — FAQ
When should I prune tillandsia andreana?
Dead leaf removal any time; pup separation after bloom. Pull dead outer leaves gently downward and twist free from the base. To separate pups, hold the parent and offset firmly and twist apart, or use a clean blade if they are tightly joined.
How often does tillandsia andreana need pruning?
Rarely — dead leaf removal as needed; pup separation once after bloom. Tillandsia andreana, like all air plants, needs no pruning. Simply remove brown or dead outer leaves by gently pulling them downward toward the base. After the plant blooms and produces pups (offsets), you can separate pups once they reach one-third the parent's size. Do not cut green leaves.
