| Overview |
Bromeliads are increasingly popular as house
plants for the winter holiday season because
of their brilliant, long lasting blooms and
interesting foliage. Bromeliads come in a
wide range of sizes and are inexpensive and
easy to grow. They are wonderful houseplants
and can be grown outdoors when there is no
danger of freezing temperatures. Bromeliads
make great gifts.
The following should be considered
when buying
bromeliads:
- Make sure you know how much light the type
of bromeliad needs. Plant types with soft,
flexible leaves like less light than the
bright, filtered light required by those
bromeliads with stiff, spiky leaves.
- Water bromeliads properly. Soil should be
kept evenly moist. Tank bromeliads should
always have some water in the central cup.
- Consider the location. If the plant is too
near a heating or air conditioning
vent,
it may be too hot or cold.
Watering with distilled water
or rainwater
can keep the leaf tips of bromeliads
from
turning brown. |
