Hi,
We, here in Naples have moved into "Spring"temps- cool am/pm and bright sunny days. Lovely.
This year I have stopped trying to have "up north" plants in Florida. I am embracing what consistently grows well. So, now I am enjoying all of the different Bromeliads. They add alot of color, texture and many even flower. They do extremely well indoors and give long lasting color. Unusual for most plants, the Bromeliad's watering is done only in the center cup, that also makes it a very easy plant. I am told they get nutrients from what is in the air. No, I am not an expert yet! My friend Rachel who is an ambitious gardener, planted her bromeliads on the bark of her palm trees. It looked so wonderful, I told her I was definitely stealing that idea. Thus the photo! It is hard to see but there are many different textures which makes it so much more interesting. I also have some orchids tucked in as well. Lets just see what works. I am curious to know how long it will take them to actually attach themselves to the tree bark. Now I have something beautiful to see outside the Kitchen window!
My Clivia plant is still in the wine cellar.. this week I gave it just a little water- much like you would do if you were "wintering over" your plants in a cellar. Stay tuned.
Enjoy, wherever you are!
