That's really pretty, Sandi. I like clay pots for my broms, too.
I think once they attach and make a clump, broms do fine on tree branches. They have a beautiful oak tree at Selby Gardens that has large clumps of broms on its branches.
But I've had no success attaching single pups to a tree branch, even with lots of TLC. We have a wonderful nursery locally that specializes in bromeliads, Tropiflora. Most of theirs are in pots, in fact I think they all are.
