Bromeliads for Home and Garden

Very informative. Easy to understand. Great pictures

This book is second choice of the 3 newest books I just bought covering the areas of care and diseases of bromeliads. It has photos but not as many and less familiar bromeliads than those I have found at the Landscape shows on display. The most breathtaking of all I have is an achmea called "Blue Tango". Perhaps more exotic in bloom, however it takes 3 years for the pups to reach maturity. Most of the current colorful bromeliads bloom anually giving pups that will bloom the following year, a need to know for the new collector! All of his information is excellant and this book will become one of my library used for making public presentations to help educate the public on the ease of care of bromeliads. My yard has no grass, only plants and mostly bromeliads of all kinds blooming year round making a demo for these classes fun to share. Having a small yard, most of those in his book that I remember seeing have been at Bok gardens where space is not an issue to share beauty with these plants. I will also use it in my bromeliad class I have been sharing with new incoming mastergardeners of Polk Co.. I have felt very honored to be able to share my love for these plants with new classes who will help educate others as well. Jan L.

It is a very useful manual for the identification and care of bromeliads

I was happily surprised on all the information, discription and color photos this little book offered. A first for anyone wanting to learn more about bromeliads as well as for the beginner. Also a very good price.

This is a great reference book for those interested in getting started in growing these interesting plants or in putting together a trove of information on them.

I wish this book had the common names for the Bromeliads included. The photos are very helpful to identify each plant Ive purchased to help me properly care for them. It is a wonderful reference guide for my library.

The book is mostly a collection of pictures -- in color -- of several bromeliads. There are a few pages in the front of the book about care and transplanting, but the book consists mostly of the photos -- with a very brief comment with each photo. No mention of the potting of each plant or even a good description of them. Comments like "some bromeliads live in soil, some on rocks, and some in trees" (paraphrased) don't help much. Possibly you can find a picture of your bromeliad and its name -- but that's about it. Disappointed.

Excellent. Full of information. Would highly recommend for beginners & experienced gardeners. Shows many varieties of Bromiliads. Very indepth. Very glad I purchased this book.

A must-have if you like keeping bromeliads

Bromeliads... What? Good book. :).

The book is well written and goes into all the requirements to keep Bromeliads. The author I believe lives in Florida and so is about growing Bromeliads in that state. However a lot of very useful information is given and I found it very interesting and worth the money.

very good
