Pruning tillandsia juncea — FAQ
When should I prune tillandsia juncea?
After flowering, when basal pups appear. Peel away dried outer leaves from the base by hand. Trim brown leaf tips at an angle with clean scissors if desired. Separate pups by twisting gently at the base once they are one-third the mother's size.
How often does tillandsia juncea need pruning?
As needed — once per growth cycle. Tillandsia juncea, a rush-like air plant with long slender leaves, needs very little pruning. Simply remove dried or brown lower leaves by peeling them away from the base. After flowering it offsets at the base — separate pups when they reach one-third the mother's size, or leave them to form a clump.
