Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Is there HOPE???, 3 by bluemerle

When I cut away the old and dying Mother plant, this poor pup starting looking
like this. The Mother plant was in pretty bad shape and very unsightly. I usually
wait as long as I can to give the pup a good chance of survival. The pup was the recommended one quarter size of it's Mom, (or so I thought), and it was so
buried by the larger plant that it wasn't getting hardly any light. So I cut off the Mother plant.

Have I killed it? Is there any hope of it coming back to health, or is it too late?

If any body has any advice about reviving this poor baby, I'd sure appreciate it.
It's a fourth generation, and I don't even know it's name. I've always wanted
one of these green & white striped Bromeliads, and when I finally ran into it I just had to have it. If this one dies, I hope I can find another one.

PLEASE HELP!!!

MY PHOTOS DIDN'T SHOW UP!!! I'M RE-POSTING THE PHOTOS NOW.
