‘There are hundreds of Tillandsia species and hybrids; collecting them can become an addiction,’ writes Jerry Robinson, one of the proprietors of Rainforest Flora.
Not long ago, I wrote about planting bromeliads in the garden. In response, I received an email from Jerry Robinson, one of the proprietors of Rainforest Flora , whose retail nursery is located in Torrance. I visited the nursery eight years ago and would place it high on the bucket list of Southern California gardeners and plant lovers.
“Another point I always make is that though some bromeliads can tolerate direct sun , they always prefer shade from hot midday sun. A few hours of direct morning sun or eastern exposure will intensify the colors of their leaves. I use palms, cycads, trumpet trees and tapioca trees for my shade. When planning a garden using bromeliads or other tropicals, always add your shade components first. These can be trees, shade cloth and lath structures or other structures such as pergolas and gazebos.
“I use the epiphytic Tillandsias to add vertical accents to my landscape. I hang them in trees and from trellises, glue them onto rocks and attach them to driftwood and cholla cactus skeletons to create natural works of art. There are hundreds of Tillandsia species and hybrids; collecting them can become an addiction.”
