| Due to some previous posts, I've openned my eyes for this brom for awhile
and finally, I got one from a collection of Nong Nooch Tropical Botanical Garden in Pattaya, a well-known tourist attraction of my country. Actually, this must be credited for our good friend, Lisa, because these beautiful specimens
I was selecting a nice one.
Finally, got this one back to my home (^_^)

| My favorite. Those are beautiful. I wonder how long till my seedlngs are that size . . . I'll have to post an updated picture this afternoon. |

| Lucky you,Stephania, That's a very nice selection you made. That leaf close-up reminded me of little green pollywogs swimming in pond water. Lisa's plants are making a difference all around our world. Seems like you are being gradually converted into the rest of the bromeliad genera ? You're going to need more space! ;-)) Bob |

| I'm glad you got one, Stephania, but they're not spiny! Nice to see my babies are doing well. I'm trying to think when he got those....... maybe 3 years ago? They were all 2" pot seedlings then, and they've still got a lot of growing to do. The markings remind me of tadpoles too, Bob. Or maybe something else that you might see under a microscope, attempting to fertilize an egg......... ;-) |

| Ha...Ha...Haaa..Lisa ! Yes..I just watched the National Geographic 'The Womb Week' and I definitely agree. BTW, I'ld like to know what kind of mix you grow your Werahia in HI, Lisa. |

| Doesn't pumice dry out the mix, Stephania? In our cactus and succulent group they recommend adding it if you have a problem with things rotting in wet areas. I've used it for Aloes, but never for broms. I want the media to stay moist. I've even tried straight peat substrate on the Werauhias and it was fine, but usually I just use our regular mix, which is 6 parts black cinders to 2 parts perlite, 1 part peat and 1 part vermiculite. I know other people that are using coir (coconut fiber) and they like it better than peat. I guess you don't really need to add anything to it. |
