In the wild, most bromeliads grow on trees and some grow in the ground, on rocks and cliff walls. Some are epiphytes, getting their water and nutrients from the atmosphere, and some have “tanks” that collect water and fallen leaves. As these leaves and other organic material that collects in the tanks decompose, they provide the nutrients needed for the bromeliads to grow.
Bromeliads are low-maintenance plants that can be grown as houseplants, in containers and as landscape plants in this part of Florida. They are also a favorite in the Florida-friendly landscape because they need little, if any, supplemental water or fertilizers.
only have a few bromeliads on you property, there is little to worry about when it comes to the mosquitoes that transmit Zika. You want to remain vigilant, however, and be aware of other sources of potential mosquito breeding such as backyard tire swings, birdbaths and anything else that can hold standing water.
