How to Add Holiday Cheer to Your Home with Bromeliads
To embellish your holiday with Bromeliads, René van Rems recommends starting with the décor at hand and taking it from there.
1. See Red…and Green and White – You have a lot of colors to choose from with Bromeliads. For the holidays, red, green and white are ideal. Guzmanias come in a variety of reds, and you can even choose a variety that has green and white variegated leaves. Or, decorate with white Guzmania Pax or Guzmania Snowball.
2. Wrap it Up – You have a beautiful Bromeliad; now put it in a holiday mood with a fitting container. To complement youthful Ikea-type furnishings, consider a metal ice bucket. Another contemporary option is a glass cube. Bromeliads even work with country décor when placed in a basket. And, because Bromeliads have a small root system, you can place them in smaller pots that really allow the plant to show off.
3. Dress for the Holidays – For charm and whimsy, hang a few miniature ornaments or handmade snowflakes from the leaves. Cover the soil with shiny ornaments. Or sprinkle artificial snow on top of the soil; add some tiny skiers if you want. Then, wrap the container in gold or red and tie it off with pretty holiday ribbon.
4. Find the Right Place – Now, it’s all about location. You can place Bromeliads just about anywhere, except in full sunlight. Study your interior and try your Bromeliad creation in different places. Try putting three next to each other in a row, or bunched together at staggered heights. Bromeliads also make stunning centerpieces, so consider topping your dinner table with an arrangement of a Bromeliad and another festive plant or two.
