He has also agreed to bring along a variety of geraniums for sale” said Ian Hook, President, Bromeliad Society of Australia.
“If you’re also looking for that special gift for someone who has everything, than why not considering a living gift such as a bromeliad?” said Ian Hook, President, Bromeliad Society of Australia.
“Air Plants don’t need soil or constant watering, they can live almost anywhere you put them and require only regular misting or soaking to survive. They also make wonderful displays when clustered in a bowl or used in a centrepiece.”
“Bromeliads are colourful, vary in texture, drought tolerant and very low maintenance with wonderful flower spikes. The most popular are Guzmanias, Tillandsias, Vrieseas, Aechmeas and Neoregelias”
Membership to the Bromeliad Society of Australia is just $30 for the first year than $25 annually. If you would like to arrange a gift membership please contact the membership secretary on email: [email protected]
