Bromeliads need a free-draining soil if grown terrestrially. Hardier varieties may survive in heavier soil but will generally perform better in a porous medium. Light exposure is specified below for each variety listed. Our Bromeliads have all been grown successfully outdoors in Northland and are well hardened to our climate unless specifically stated. |
