Earlier this year I purchased a Billbergia pyramidalis Kyoto. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/63839/

It was two plants potted together. I realize that one was apparently the mother plant and is now dying.

The younger plant has grown large and is beautiful. I would love to separate them but don't want to damage the pretty one.

Can anyone give me some pointers on the best way and best time to do that or should I leave them alone and let the one die off?
