I don't know much about bromeliads I have to admit - but I'm pretty sure that most bromeliads can grow from trees because they take moisture and water directly from the air or from the centre “tank”, not by their roots. They do also grow in the ground as long as you keep filling their 'tank' - I've got two growing in my own garden in a garden bed.

yes i work with them a lot - in indoor displays, some of the large offices around here have large planter with them in...as a florist this is part of our contract work..we never water the soil just pore water in the top, i do love them i had quite a collection at my last flat, but i don't have any at the moment - i must stock up on them they are really easy to keep arnt they.

Yes they are such a great plant - very little fuss and they reward us with some fantastic blooms.
