Cinta, it is no more difficult to mount and grow bromeliads as it is to mount and grow orchids. Some bromeliads are epiphytes and prefer mounting, some are terrestrial and prefer to be in soil, and some do well either way. I would suggest that rather than mounting a large bromeliad, one that has probably been grown in a pot, mount several small ones. These could be "pups" or seedlings, but either way, they seem to "take" to mounting without problems. Bromeliads, particularly those that are mounted, take about the same temperature, light, and water that orchids do, so you should have little trouble growing them. The three I posted (as well as others I grow) do well mounted. I am a hobbyist and have mounted many dozen of these over the years. Tree-Mail me if you want more information. Ken

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
