Note:
Bromeliads are colorful, easy to grow, beautiful plants that are resistant indoors and require very little water or attention. Bromeliads are excellent houseplants that bear more neglect than almost any other plant. In the landscape, the bromeliad grows happily in a pot or when planted directly on the ground. They add a colorful touch to any outdoor space, garden or balcony. In cooler areas, a containerized bromeliacea can be reallocated for the winter months.

An extremely ornamental bromeliad and a prize in acquisition.
