What to do with Tillandsia after it blooms and how to raise it so that it can bloom again

1. Cut off the remaining flowers

2. Replace pot soil

3. Division cultivation

4. Timely fertilization

After Tillandsia has bloomed, the old plant will no longer be able to bloom. After the flowers bloom, the remaining flowers and flower stems must be cut off first to avoid the breeding of bacteria and pests and diseases. The blooming of the flowers will consume the nutrients in the soil in the pot. You can repot it in a new pot, and prune the roots of the plant in conjunction with the repotting to remove overly dense and long root systems. Cut the seedlings growing next to the tillandsia and plant them. It also needs timely fertilization to replenish nutrients.

1. Cut off the remaining flowers

After the Tillandsia flowers have bloomed, the old plants will no longer be able to bloom. Therefore, after the flowers bloom, you must first remove the remaining flowers and flower stems. Pruning it off can prevent excessive consumption of nutrients, which is even more detrimental to the growth of the plant. If left alone, withered flowers and flower stems will be left on the plants, which may breed a lot of bacteria and easily cause diseases and insect pests.

2. Replace the pot soil

After the flowers of Tillandsia bloom, they will consume the nutrients in the pot soil and be unable to maintain later growth. You can change it to a new pot and prepare a larger pot. The material should be breathable, and the soil can be loose and fertile humus. When repotting, you can trim the rotten, diseased, and rotten roots underneath to remove overly dense and long root systems. Don't rush to water after changing the pot. Wait until the soil in the pot is dry before watering.

3. Division cultivation

After blooming once, Tillandsia itself cannot bloom again, but many small plants will grow on the plant. When these seedlings grow larger, you can prepare a sharp knife to cut them. Dry the cut seedlings slightly, prepare suitable potting soil, and replant the young plants in them.

4. Timely fertilization

Timely fertilization is also needed to meet the various nutrients required by the plants to supplement nutrients.
