- What are the LARGEST Bromeliads? In this week's 'Brom Vlog' we ask the question, 'How big is big?' and look at some examples of some very large bromeliads. Super-sized bromeliads make a huge impact, and growing them is really easy. So come on everybody, "Let's get growing and have some fun!"
Absolutely beautiful, I love bromeliads, even the plain green ones are stunning. Thanks for the nursery tour Rusty.
Don't know if I can do it but I'm going to try here in the desert. Thanks, Rusty so much. Found out I can just drive to California where I live in Phoenix and get come amazing ones like you have in Florida. Blessed to be able in a relatively short time to do that.
Bromeliads are officially my number one favorite plant of all time. They're beautiful and the neoregalias with the hot pink center are my favorite!
I must get one of those _Tillandsia krukoffiana_ -wow! Love it. I always thought the _T. xerographica_ types were the ‘biggest’ of all airplants.
I randomly acquired 2 decently-sized xerographica plants about a year ago, for only $5 each (!!) from the MOST expensive little local hardware store (go figure)…and they’re already blooming! And I see no sign of pups yet, either. I might have to brush up on seed-growing with these babies. Can’t be that crazy, albeit a crazy slow process.
Another great, large bromeliad, if not semi-plain to some people, are the _Portea_ from Atlantic coastal Brazil. I love how they can handle sun or shade, better color in sun though, and if you plant them in a raised area, or in a tall pot, they can appear almost 8 ft. tall when in-bloom. And pollinators, especially hummingbirds, LOVE them… they bloom so reliably, too.

Thank you!
Funny story... My neighbor is moving and was throwing out her HUGE tiger Broneliad (which I always loved every time I saw it)... and I asked her if I could have it, and she said yes of course, so I replanted it in a larger pot and cleaned it up a bit... Then I started looking at how to care for them and found you and you're in Fort Myers too, and so am I. What a coincidence! I LOVE this plant and am thinking about plating it in the yard.
Wonderful, really appreciate you watching!
A friend of mine bought a house, and didn't like the giant broms covering his yard, so he dug them all out and gave them to me. I have at least 10 are the size of the largest here. Red, yellow, green. 4 ft. leaves. Most of the "roots" are just stems though. I have no idea how to tend plants this large until I can plant them. If you, or anyone here has tended monsters like this, I would welcome any input. Thanks.
To store your broms until you can plant them, place them in bright indirect or filtered light, out of direct sun, and place them upright so that the central tank can hold water. As long as they stay reasonably hydrated they will be fine for a couple of weeks until you can install them. Thanks so much for watching IBT!
Can I use garden fleece to protect my bromeliads in winter here in So. Georgia without needing to bring them "in?"
How much are the big ones?
Ahora bien, porque si me dicen que son epifetas las plantan en un sustrato???
Puyas!
You are so right, one of the members of that genus, P. raimondii, is the largest of them all! Unfortunately it is pretty specific in it's growing requirements growing at above 9000 feet elevation in habitat. Really appreciate your input, thanks for watching!
Bromelia pinguïn
I wish you would spell the names at least the species name.
