Pruning tillandsia stricta — FAQ
When should I prune tillandsia stricta?
After flowering, when pups appear. Remove dried outer leaves by hand. Trim brown tips at a diagonal angle with clean scissors. Detach pups by twisting gently or cutting with a sterile blade once they are one-third the mother's size.
How often does tillandsia stricta need pruning?
As needed — very infrequent. Tillandsia stricta needs minimal pruning. Peel away brown outer leaves and trim any dead tips with clean scissors. After flowering, the rosette produces offsets (pups) — these can be left to form a clump or separated when they reach one-third the mother plant's size for propagation.
