GARDENING GUIDESBromeliads: The Ultimate Collector’s Plants
Once you discover bromeliads’ exotic beauty, wide-ranging colors and intriguing patterns, you’ll never go back
Full StoryI rescued two plants at the local Lowe's (75% off) that I think are Guzmania lingulata, but I could be wrong--these are my first bromeliads. One plant is large, one small. The small plant has 2 little 'pups.' There is a second plant in the pot with the larger brom that is almost as large as the one that flowered.
I would like to grow these plants outside in the ground, but I'm not sure that is appropriate for this type of bromeliad. I am in zone 9b, south of Sarasota, FL. I hope someone can help me--did I correctly ID them, and what's the best way to grow them here?
Thanks for all suggestions.
Marcia
