- Plant in the spotlight l Bromelia
A tropical eye-catcher for any space
Origin
Bromelia is probably about 65 million years old and grows in the rugged Andes Mountains and in the warm forests of Central and South America. The Bromelia family consists of more than 2800 species, of which the most beautiful and easiest have made it into a domestic plant. Bromelia is suitable for any living space. Look at the leaves of the plant and read where it prefers to stand. Bromeliads with thick leaves like to stand in a dry environment and bromeliads with thin leaves prefer a damp location. For example, Tillandsia is the ideal bathroom bromeliad, and Aechmea prefers to stand on the windowsill.5 reasons why you should have Bromelia in your range:
- Bromelia is a real eye-catcher that conquers many a heart.
- The plant has a longer shelf life than most flowering plants on the shelf and only needs a little light and an occasional sip of water in the calyx.
- Bromelia comes in many colours and shapes. So, there is one for every taste.
- Bromelia flowers once but allows the plant to enjoy its beauty for three to six months.
- Bromelia has a positive influence on air quality.
