Keep checking this one for pups every once and a while but still no sign of any- wondering if I should be concerned since the other airplant I have sitting with this one, which also bloomed with this one at the same time- has already started producing 2 pups, but also the other one being a fuchsii I believe, so do those ones just make pups quicker after blooming? And some ends on this one are starting to look brown/dead. I soak about once every 2 weeks for like 20 minutes and mist in between soakings, so is the browning tips to be expected after blooming even if no pups are seen yet? Or am I maybe not soaking this one long enough or as often as I should be? Thanks in advance!

I’m still pretty new to air plants, but I’m soaking them for 30-60 minutes once or twice per week. I’ve seen other people says to do it that often if the tips are browning. I can’t speak to the blooming or pups yet.
How long ago did it bloom? They normally die after going into flower. By the time the plant dies, the pups should be thriving off the mother, and you don’t really notice the dead part. It eventually dries and falls off, leaving the cluster of mature pups. Hence why you leave pups on the plant.
