trying to id some bromeliads
Hi please to a gander at the links to help ID the broms. My daughter
wanted some, and there was a pot with these three in there. Could anyone tell me how much light and H2O they need. Do i put them in the greenhouse, which I just put up four months ago. http://mmccaws.home.comcast.net/brom1.jpg http://mmccaws.home.comcast.net/brom2.jpg http://mmccaws.home.comcast.net/brom3.jpg Thanks Mike |

They make very good house plants, but will rot quickly from over watering. Make sure they dry out well between waterings. Bright light is good don't really need to be in a window but it would be nice to be close to one. If they are placed in a more shaded room be aware they won't take up the water as fast. zhan |

I'll leave it to you to browse the photos to narrow down the species g. Very easy to grow- good light but not sun and the occasional misting. All my bromies keep better color if grown hard- meaning very little in the way of feeding. http://fcbs.org/pictures/Vriesea.htm Toni SoFla zone 10 |

Thanks I'll give that site a view. In this case is hard meaning lots
of light or moderate? |
