Forgot to say that I really loved this video showing your colonies in the trees by species and giving us a description Great job

After our grandfather passed away, some were growing in, and up against a tree. I'm propagating them at home. This was very helpful in getting some understanding of these plants. Thanks

Cool, I need to do this. We have a large Schefflera, Bauhinia, Ficus benjamina variegata, elástica, Audrey, Banyan figs and more. Even a weeping willow, with its natural draping arch, would be ideal for a small clump of my Neoregelia 'Fireball'. All these trees we have would be great candidates for me to put brom's in. Plus the hoyas, dischidias, ferns, orchids, tree cacti, and aroids! Haha. What else?! When they're just not thriving in soil anymore, I think most epiphytic plants bounce back...when...wait for it - they're treated as epiphytes! Go figure! Haha. Also, I was thinking how certain larger species (like Aechmea, Portea, and some large Neoregelia) are a bit too cumbersome to mount in a private garden, though it can be done, and you will find them growing giant (and many feet up) in the wild; they seem like they'd be right at home growing on the giant terrestrial roots of trees like Banyan fig. Anything with massive elevated roots. I saw pictures of a cluster of Portea all attached at the base of a Banyan. They readily attach, but grow more horizontally than climbing.

I did minds on tree bark an doing great neogelias doing well

[@jacquehanna8964]

How did you attach the plants to the trees, especially the lil fireballs?

[@islandbreezetropicals1276]

Cable ties (zip ties) work very well. Care needs to be taken to insure any method does not cause girdling to the tree, so removal or replacement may be needed. There's a vid in the works for that...stay tuned!

You showed a lot of neoregelias -- are all neoregelias able to grow without soil? I have one (Minerva) potted in my apartment but would like to be able to keep it soilless if possible, but I haven't found anything conclusive online.

[@aprilwaller123]

So when you put them in the tree ,do you water them or do you allow the rain to water them?

[@islandbreezetropicals1276]

Where we live in Florida it can be quite dry during the winter, so if it goes 2-3 weeks the broms in the trees here at The Tangle will get some supplemental water. Thanks for watching!

[@devbachu7072]

I brought some an has them mounted on the trees

Rusty, is that you? I went back on Facebook after being off for awhile. How about friending me back. Hope you are well. All the siblings are doing well. I retired sometime back.
