My Bromeliad is giving me more pups!

I was organizing and watering my indoor plants and found a great surprise. My bromeliad is producing more pups for me again. This time there was three. Not sure if you can see them in this picture but there's a small sprout on the right side, left side, and the middle. I'm so happy! So this mother plant has given me a total of 5 pups!  Will try to provide updated pictures on how they are doing weekly.
 
Anyone out there having luck like me?  How many pups do one mother plant give?  And how long does the mother plant live?  Please let me know!

Early Happy Birthday to Me - Orchid and Bromeliad


Since some of my family members are going on vacation soon they all decided to celebrate my birthday a few weeks early.

And my sister got me this. How sweet of her. She also remembers...I've always wanted an Orchid. I've own some in the past but I could never keep them alive. Hopefully now that I have a little more experience with plants I can keep this plant alive longer.

I believe she brought this beautiful container from Whole Foods. They use all moss when planting both the Orchid and Bromeliad. It seems kind of wet when I got it. And it's still very moist 3 days later. Roots please don't rot this time!!!

So anyone out there can give me some advice on how to take care of my new baby?
