Bromeliads

Bromeliads are a tropical plant certain to catch a customer’s eye. The elegant favorites have exotic shapes, bright and bold colors, are long lasting, and require little care. Can a plant get any better than that?

Busy customers find that live plants not only add instant beauty to their home but also provide an important connection with nature. Bromeliads’ unique styles and striking colors add great sizzle wherever they are placed, making them an ideal and easy-to-use decorating detail. Because they are available in a wide range of shapes, colors, sizes, and varieties, bromeliads are excellent choices when offering plants for seasonal themes, no matter which season is approaching.

These plants are long-lived, some producing flowers or flower stalks which last for months while others show off their colors on their leaves. They do well in interior or exterior settings, require little care and have a natural resistance to most pets and diseases. They seem to adapt to whatever environment they inhabit. Not only are customers attracted to bromeliads as home decor, these eye-appealing plants do well promoted as gifts, especially for the person who has everything.

Responding to the great consumer appeal of bromeliads, 10 new varieties were showcased at the Tropical Plant Industy Exhibition’s New Plant display by various growers. Bolder, brighter colors make the new bromeliads varieties even more irresistible for brightening up a room, porch, patio or garden.
