How to bind bromeliads skillfully - Hints on underlay and method
Bound bromeliads are equal in presence and radiance to the fascinating orchids. How to properly position seated Bromeliads in this tutorial is explained using the example of a Tillandsia. Benefit from our tips on suitable documents and an uncomplicated method.
On a wooden throne bromeliads reside impressively
A wooden base is advantageous in several ways. The pad itself is easy to attach with wire or hook. Furthermore, both stemless and stem-forming Tillandsia find sufficient support. Of course, not every type of wood is equally suitable. Pine, spruce or fruit tree woods are prone to pest infestation and rot. Instead, grab branches of a long-lived robinia, thuja or yew.
How to Tillandsien tipping up
For proper tying you need a healthy Tillandsie, nude nylon stockings, the pad and a pair of scissors. The stockings cut into 5 cm wide strips. The elastic material is flexible enough and in skin color later almost invisible. Proceed as follows:
If the pad is big enough, you can tie up several bromeliads. These should ideally have similar location and care requirements. In contrast to orchids here is dispensed with an intermediate layer of sphagnum. As experience shows, moss hampers the rooting of a bromeliad on the branch. Frequent spraying causes rot and mold in moss.
Spanish moss lays on the binding site
To decoratively hide the binding site, the Tillandsia usenoides is on hand. The Spanish moss simply drape around the plant neck and include it in the care. Exotic bromeliads are not only at their feet, but will continue to grow in parallel with them.
Tips
Where bromeliads magically hover against a wall, they all attract attention. The necessary hold gives the plants a special silicone glue. Natural stone silicone is perfect for the ingenious decoration trick. This adhesive contains little acetic acid that does not tolerate natural stones or bromeliads.
