Bromeliad
Bromeliads are excellent indoor plants. They have colorful, long-lasting
inflorescenses and some have brilliantly colored foliage as well. Bromeliads
also readily adapt to the unfavorable growing conditions that exist in most
homes. Bromeliads can also be used in the outdoor landscape in frost-free
areas or grown in containers that can be moved indoors in areas where freezes
occur. Since bromeliads require minimal care, they are an asset to the landscape.
Succelent
Plants that have adjusted to the arid and semi-arid regions of the world
are known as cacti and succulents. Cacti are defined as members of one plant
family and are considered separately, although they are actually succulents.
The term Succulent encompasses all other fleshy plants, which stem from a
variety of plant families. Succulents are any plant with fleshy, thick tissues
adapted to water storage. Succulents are excellent houseplants, for they are
both adaptable and durable. They are suited to a wide variation in temperature,
and can even survive neglected watering.
T illandsias
Tillandsias, called by some the world's most unusual airplants, are a delightful
addition to any home. They are easy to care for and exotic to look at. Tillandsias
are air plants, even more so than other bromeliads and much like vandaceous
orchids. They prefer light airy conditions and daily misting in areas of low
humidity. They must be brought into protection from any freeze, but a light
frost will not usually damage them. The greener and softer varieties like
a little more water and shade. Any can be grown in your sunniest indoor area.
Enjoy your Tillandsia plant for years of blooming and pupping with good light,
fresh air, and adequate but not overabundant watering, particularly in cooler
weather.
