Hello,
I am new to this forum. I have several Broms however I don't know what they are called right off hand. Some are large , some flower, some don't.
My question goes mainly to mounting. Which ones are epiphytes and which ones should be stuck in a pot?
I get very confused by the names and what is what type.
I live in southern california and have a shade house which I grow orchids in. High humidity and plenty of water.

Re: New to forum
Hi pal
well you have posted a very general question and I can only answer
very general to this.
nearly 3000 species from allmost all possible climates.
So again, you first need to know, what plants you are dealing with.
Don't get me wrong, but its like you would ask
"I got this old car, what kinda tires do I need ?"
The more detailed your question, the more detailed (hopefully) the answer.
After got them identified you may post your questions here or
check our wiki for further details
www.bromwiki.net
Got any pictures ?
That might help getting them named.
of different species. You seem to be much better off then most of us
over here in germany.
Greetings Timm

That depends on the species. We are talking about a family withbrominterest hat geschrieben:My question goes mainly to mounting.

Maybe could you take some pics of your Bromeliads and show us here. Because that is easier way to help. I would like to help you as much as I can .

Words are like weapons. They wound sometimes.
Hmmm, us Southern Californians are taking over!
Welcome brominterest. I live down in Oceanside, Z9, and have about 600 to 700 plants outside. We are blessed with our temperate climate for growing bromeliads. Tillandsias, which are unfortunately, commonly called "air plants", are the resident kings of epiphytic bromeliads. The majority of Tillandsias can be grown on bark or other material by simply attaching with a good water-proof silicone glue. Many, many species of the various genera like Aechmea, Billbergia, and Catopsis can be grown as epis also. Check out the FCBS (Florida Council of Bromeliad Societies) web site and research the various articles on the plant's habitat. A lot of times you can tell how a brom grows by getting info into it's native habitat.
