The next meeting of the Bromeliad Society of Australia will be held at the Federation Pavilion, Castle Hill Showground, Castle Hill on Saturday, 5th October with sales to the public from 10am and the meeting commencing at 12 noon.
The guest speaker will be one of our dedicated committee member’s Bob Sharpley who will discuss his trials and tribulations of installing a suitable watering system for bromeliads.
After too many plants being damaged by the heat because he wasn’t home to water, he knew he needed to organise a watering system where his plants could water whenever he was away from home.
He researched watering systems and decided to go with a WiFi watering system which could be turned on or off as needed.
Since using this system he hasn’t lost or had any damaged plant due to excessive heat.
He installed uv protected nylex tubing with several different misting tips every metre.
The system can be preset to turn on up to 12 times a day or can be turn on manually. There will be our usual ‘Show, Tell and Ask’ session and the very popular plant raffle.
