One of the most interesting things about the whole Bromeliad family is the wide variety of plants found in the family - many different sizes, shapes, flower colors and foliage colors and places they can be used.

Most of the ones we find used in the landscape or as house plants feature a rosette and flower spike planted right in the middle.

Bromeliads used in the garden, grouped together in a beautiful terra-cotta pot or as a stand alone work of natural art can add color and style in an easy to care for package.

Grouping the plants in a container let's me trade out plants as they come in color… and change the look as often as I'd like. This picture is a group of different colored Guzmanias "planted" together is a nice 10" terra-cotta pot. THis combination gives yo many options for longterm color and use…

Bromeliads are the family where we find pineapples (Bromeliaceae), and can be found in their native habitat of the New World or more commonly known as North, Central and South America. The two most widely known plants from the Bromeliad family are the popular pineapple (Ananas comosus) and the graceful "southern Bromeliad" known as Spanish moss (Tillandsia usneoides).

Most Bromeliads grown for indoor use as house plants are epiphytes. In their native home you'll find them attached by their root to trunks and branches in trees and "catch" their nutrients and moisture from the air and rain - hence they are know as "air plants".

Some do attach themselves to rocks, while other grow as most plants do - in the ground. Within the same genus or group you can often find tree-dwelling, ground-dwelling, and rock-dwelling species. If the truth be known most epiphytic and terrestrial Bromeliads can grow just as well in either place or condition. It is this characteristic and ability Bromeliads posses in particular, that allows many of the epiphytic Bromeliad species to be produced in pots, making them wonderful house plants.

Bromeliad the name may sound a little foreign but the name has not stopped the Bromeliad family from becoming one of the most popular house plants today. It's bright colorful flowers and unique foliage make Bromeliads versatile for both indoor and outdoor use in landscape design. Bromeliads have long been a favorite for use for long lasting color and ease of care.

Orchids and Bromeliads are two families in the wide world of plants which offer many variations in size, shape, foliage and flower colors.

They equally excel in their use as a house plant where the brighten any room and con be used in many unique combinations.
