I just went out today and put liquid fish and liquid seaweed at the base of my blooming plant.
I keep the hose nearby and water it throughout the day (its burning hot here at times).
Leave the pups on it for now, don't kill any roots.
Some growers like to top off the pups (you know, like behead them) to restrict their growth at this point but I can't bring myself to do that with mine!
Leave any green leaves on the plant, don't cut off any dying leaves that still have moisture or green in them.
You can also cut back any old dry parts of the pseudostem to reveal the green chlorophyll behind. This will obviously assist with additional energy production, too.
But only cut off totally dry material, leave the part where it's not dessicated yet.
Pad the mat with old leaves and compost.. it does a few things including retaining moisture by blocking the drying winds and sun, it adds nutrients, and block weeds from making the nutrient rich mat their new home.
Give it a hug every day.
And pat yourself on the back for all the patience and hard work.
