I may not know much about growing plants, nor do I know about how to grow Bromeliads, but I did some research about how to grow these plants. They are considered very strange yet beautiful as stated by Jon VanZile from his article "Growing Successful Bromeliads". He explains many tips of how to take care and grow these Bromeliads. He first illustrates that the plant would prefer well-lit, bright windowsills, but not direct sunlight (VanZile). VanZile, explains that a planter must pay attention to the lighting, temperature, water, soil, and fertilizer that they use to plant these Bromeliads. He explains that Bromeliads cannot be directly in contact with the sunlight, instead they prefer temperature in between 50 degree Fahrenheit to 80 degree Fahrenheit. VanZile states "Bromeliads are very tolerant of drought conditions. In a normal house, it's not necessary to keep the central cup filled with water, but this is an option if the light levels, temperature and humidity are high enough. If you do centrally water your bromeliad, make sure to flush the central cup every so often to remove any built-up salts. In general, however, it's enough to water these plants through the soil weekly during the growing season and reduce watering during the winter rest period. Never let the plant rest in standing water." He shows that Bromeliads are able to withstand drought conditions, but they should not be sitting in water. He soon demonstrates that Bromeliads can grow in a fast drain potting soil. In addition, they need to be water every so often throughout the years. Lastly, VanZile writes "Bromeliads are not heavy feeders. During the growing season, use a liquid fertilizer at 1/2 or 1/4 strength. If you use a slow-release pellet fertilizer and water the central cup, a single pellet dropped into the cup will suffice for a season. Slow-release pellets can also be mixed into the soil compost." He explains that Bromeliads do not need much fertilizer, so instead, using just a liquid fertilizer of about a half to a fourth strength will help the plant for a season. Even though I may not know much about Bromeliads, I hope this will help many planters about how to grow them.

To grow begonias, plant them in a spot that gets sun at least 5 or 6 hours a day. Make sure to give them plenty of water, but allow them to dry out between waterings. Only fertilize them if they show signs of distress.
some types of flowers are orchids and bromeliads
Yes bromeliads do well here in the desert (overwatering them does them in)
They grow on trees to take advantage of the sunlight in the canopy. Most are orchids, bromeliads, ferns and Philodendron relatives.
Orchids, Bromeliads, moss, roots, and wooden vines. Even though there are some plants growing in trees many also grow in the understory and some that grow in the water.
bromeliads smell pretty good you know but all flowers have a good smell
what layer of the rain forest can you find a bromeliads
Plants such as ferns, mosses, epiphytes (orchids, bromeliads etc.), vines and climbers as well as a range of parasitic plants
air
Bromeliads look like leaves and some do live in tree tops, but that sells the genus short. Bromeliads look like the top of a pineapple of which pineapple is considered a bromeliad. Bromeliads are mostly epiphytes which means they do not need soil in which to grow hence the vision of them in tree tops. They capture the water and food they need by their almost funnel shape. They can also been seen growing in the forks of branches. There are those that do require soil and those are classified as terrestrials like pineapple. Bromeliads are one of the most sold and grown house plant. Thay are also related to orchids which share most of the same attributes. I hope this helps
Bromeliads which grow on the branches of many tropical trees, Air Plants, Mistletoe, Spanish Moss, some species of fern and Seaweeds and I'm sure there are many more.
