I am a 84 year old Bromeliad grower in Australia (born in Loughton Essex) and I admire your enthusiasm growing them with frost about. Even here in Melbourne I bring them indoors on a cold night.

I am an experimental tropical gardener, I have tried noeregelias here in California, they’re mounted on tree stumps and trees and have survived two years of snow… this year in February they survive 3 days of snow I would go outside and water them to remove the snow from them. They’re very resilient plants some orchids also survive mounted on my trees. Happy gardening everyone!

I have grown and sold Bromeliads for 40 years. I grow several species on my large host tree Shinus molle (Pepper Tree) several have formed clumps over 30 years old. Nowadays I find old " root balls" from expired plants with half the soil removed a good starting point for tying on. Tied to tight can inhibit pups on the larger species. Bromeliads with pendant flowers such as Aechmea weilbachii pendula and Bill. magnifica are well suited. (Rick in Macaronesia)

You have really sold me on bromeliads as a plant to tie to trees. They look fantastic! I'll definitely check them out at my next trip to local greenhouses! This video was really well produced!

These are very beautiful. I just started planting bromelaids. I really thought they were only grown in tropical climates. Thanks for this video. I am from St. Lucia in the Caribbean

I like your idea to use wire first then cover with peat moss & twine. I’d been hesitant to put them on trees cause I knew I’d have to bring them in for a couple months but your idea I think I’ll give it a try

Great stuff again Craig😊

Neoregelia. I've seen it as a blushing bromeliad. Would you know how to get it to offshoot quicker?

[@alisonaxe6633]

Do you have a video for how to cover the roots? Or is it literally as simple as take it out of the pot add moss? I guess tie it on with string/ fine wire? Thx love this video, off to do my own now! X
