Bromeliads- Ideas from your Lawn service company
BROMELIADS are an unusual and diverse family of plants. They produce a spectacular array of small flowers on beautiful spikes or inflorescences with dozens of subtle flowers; other species have dozens of quite small delicate flowers in a rosette cup. Some species are large with long belt-like leaves, and some are small with curved, course, thin leaves. Many are natural epiphytes (attached to another living plant), but some grow on rocks; several species grow in the ground. Many species derive some of their moisture from the air, and many have a pool of water in a "cup" formed by the closely overlapping leaves. The foliage is colorful with greens, browns, reds, and yellows. Many factors cause bromeliads to bloom such as age of plant, length of day, light intensity, water and temperature.
These plants are easy to maintain outside or indoors, and they are gaining popularity. They make great houseplants and can take unfavorable growing conditions. Did you know Pineapples and Spanish moss are Bromeliads?
Consider Bromeliads in your flower bed!
