Romantic Bromeliads take Valentine’s Day to heart

Bromeliads can be tall or short. The leaves can be smooth and shiny, variegated or powdery silver green, spiny or spineless. If you have a room or table that needs to be dressed up, there’s a Bromeliad to fill the need—beautifully.

Kurt Cyr’s Centerpieces Through the Year is a how-to book about creating imaginative and attractive centerpieces with seasonal plants. “For Valentine’s Day, I’d do a centerpiece revolving around sweethearts. A heart-shaped Bromeliad centerpiece would be perfect for a dinner party or romantic dinner for two,” says Cyr.

Kurt Cyr’s Bromeliad Valentine’s Centerpiece
1. Pick a pair of perfect Bromeliads - Start by selecting a pair of tall Bromeliads—Guzmanias would be ideal.
2. Go with the color of love - For color, Cyr suggests “something obvious like lipstick red.”
3. Opposites attract – Place the Bromeliads facing slightly away from each other in a simple, shallow almost flat pot, the perfect counterpoint to the tall plants.
4. Heartfelt arrangements – Now bend each Bromeliad towards the other, arching to meet in the middle. With the flowers of each plant together and pointing down towards the pot, bundle or connect the flowers with twisty ties, being careful to keep the ties hidden.
