Bromeliads

Bromeliads are a diverse and vibrant family of tropical plants known for their striking appearance and ease of care, making them popular as houseplants and landscape additions.

Watering Tips

Most absorb water through their central cup; keep it filled but not stagnant. Water less during colder months; they go semi-dormant.

light requirements

Bright, indirect light (some tolerate direct sun, especially outdoor varieties).

Tips & tricks

If the color fades or the plant looks leggy, it probably wants more light.

info

Most bromeliads are non-toxic to cats and dogs!

That includes common types like:

  • Guzmania
  • Neoregelia
  • Aechmea
  • Tillandsia (air plants)

They’re generally considered safe according to the ASPCA and other pet safety resources. That means if your pet chews on a leaf (as they sometimes do), it likely won’t cause poisoning.
