About Bromeliads

Mini Neoregelias For Bioactive Terrariums Mini Neoregelias For Vivariums Bromeliads For Bioactive Terrariums Bromeliads For Vivariums Best Bromeliads For Bioactive Terrariums and Vivariums
Bromeliads are a large family of tropical plants which are primarily epiphytic. The term "epiphyte" describes any plant which typically grows on other plants, instead of in soil. These plants absorb their nutrients & moisture from the air & surroundings, rather than a more typical subterranean root system. Roots of the Bromeliads we carry instead act mostly as a natural way for a plant to cling or mount itself to it's surroundings. Planting advice for each plant we carry is briefly summarized in each plant's description below, and we've also got more detailed recommendations for planting epiphytic plants in our Vivarium Construction 101 Article.

About Our Bromeliads

Growing Bromeliads Under High PAR Light Keeping Bromeliad Colors Bright Healthy Mini Neoregelias Brightly Colored Bromeliads Growing Terrarium Appropriate Bromeliads Indoors
We do our best to grow every plant we can ourselves in our indoor grow rooms. That being said, Bromeliads are a necessary exception since doing so would require acres of greenhouses in fair weather year-round. (New England winters can be brutal!) Having said that, we've spent the past 10+ years developing relationships with the best Bromeliad specialists in the USA, and we've taken a few unique steps to ensure the Bromeliads we sell stand out. Below, we'll break down some of what makes our plants unique.
About Our Neoregelias
Upon arrival, we individually process each plant in our bare rooting tool, label it, and place it in extra large grow cells. Since the beginning of 2018, each cell is illuminated with custom lights which blast the plants with a ridiculous amount of PAR light (Over 650µMol/M²S PAR @ 12in!) to ensure the color of each plant increases while it's in our care. In addition, each cell's temperature, misting, drainage, and active ventilation is fully automated to ensure the plants stay as happy & healthy as they can be.
About Our Tillandsias
We've been working with our primary Tillandsia supplier for over a decade, and we've developed a particular way to care for them once they arrive at our shop. After a quick processing procedure & careful inspection, our air plants are placed on species-specific trays & treated to plenty of PAR light (65-100µMol/M²S PAR @ 12in). Automated misting sessions occur on different schedules depending on the specific species, and we use only pure reverse osmosis filtered water to hydrate these plants. Airflow is always important when growing Tillandsias, and the majority of our air plants are in a direct path of oscillating fans which are scheduled to run a few times daily. Going the extra mile to care for our air plants allows certain species to actually color-up while they are in our care, and we're proud of the quality of the finished plants we've got available.
About Our Other Bromeliads
Most of our Aechmeas, Cryptanthus, and Vriesea (not often available) are sourced from a local family-owned specialty greenhouse we've been working with since we opened for business. Cryptanthus & smaller plants are kept in similar conditions to our Tillandsias with plenty of airflow, high humidity, and filtered water to ensure the plants thrive while they are in our care.
Growing Bromeliads In A Bioactive Terrarium / Live Vivarium
Every Bromeliad is different, and the majority we carry prefer to be mounted to a background or hardscape decor. Aechmea & Cryptanthus are the only two Bromeliads which we carry that typically thrives when planted in our live vivarium substrate. Neoregelias & Tillandsias must be mounted up high to thrive, and placing them near a source of PAR light (like our Vivarium Lighting Kits) is an ideal way to ensure they remain colorful after they arrive. We offer an inexpensive Plant Mounting Kit for this purpose, which has some specific advice in it's item description. You can learn more about mounting Tillandsias in our Tillandsia care article, and more about mounting Neoregelias in Vivarium Construction 101. Neoregelias are an especially popular choice with keepers of dart frogs & other small amphibians, since the water-filled axil of the plant can be used for tadpole rearing!

Plant Size Info

Potted Plants:

Best Terrarium Plants For The Price Bare Rooted & Wrapped With ID
Plant nurseries roughly categorize their plants by pot size, and a plant is made available once it has mostly filled out it's container. Generally speaking, a 4in potted plant is roughly twice the size of a 3in pot, and a 3in potted plant is typically twice the size of a 2in pot. Needless to say, we do our best to offer big & healthy plants which were categorized honestly, and are representative of the photos we've got listed on the site. Every potted plant we sell is shipped bare root, and the root ball of the plant is carefully wrapped in paper towels before it's placed back into it's cleaned pot for shipping. From there, it's wrapped in clean brown packing paper and labeled with it's species before shipping.
 

Live Mats:

Healthy Background Plants For Terrariums How We Ship Live Mat Terrarium Plants
We're proud to offer a brand new way to order plants, and we're loving the results so far. Our Live Mats are grown with plenty of light & the ideal amount of moisture required to form a dense mat. Before shipping, each section is gently separated from it's sealed container, rinsed free of excess potting soil, and carefully placed in a partially inflated airtight bag. Depending on the specific plant, live mats can planted terrestrially or attached to a background to grow epiphytically. These are exceptionally dense portions of plants, so a little can go a long way!
 

Rooted Portions:

How We Ship Rooted Portions Of Terrarium Plants
Some plants we grow are offered in rooted portions, which are slightly smaller portions than would typically be included in a 3in pot. The length and overall portion size depends on the species being offered, but these do include a portion of the root system for easy planting & fast acclimation. When it comes time to ship, we'll carefully separate the portion from it's mother plant, rinse the roots free of potting soil, and carefully wrap the roots in a ball of moist paper towels. From there, the plant is wrapped in clean brown packing paper and labeled with it's species before shipping.
 

Clippings:

How We Ship Clippings For Terrarium Plants
Clippings are the smallest size portion of what we offer. Depending on the species, clippings may or may not include small attached roots. Plants we sell as clippings are typically epiphytic in nature, meaning they'll grow without soil on the surface of another plant (or wood decor, backgrounds, etc). The difficulty in planting clippings depends entirely on the species, so don't hesitate to ask before ordering if you are curious. When it comes time to ship, we carefully clean, wrap, and seal our clippings in partially filled bags to ensure the safest transit possible. Like everything else we sell, these are individually labeled with ID.

Aechmea fasciata

Silver Vase Plant

Aechmea fasciata Aechmea fasciata
▾ Show Plant Description ▾
This large, unique Bromeliad is a member of the Aechmea genus. It's versatile enough to thrive as a houseplant, or in very (very!) large vivariums. Over time, a large pink spike with bright blue flowers will grow from the center of the plant's axil. It thrives under bright light with plenty of humidity. Can be planted terrestrially in well draining soil, or epiphytically in a more humid environment. Our largest Bromeliad, this plant is sold mature at around 18in. Too big for us to propagate in our grow rooms, Aechmea fasciata is sourced from a trusted, local (Connecticut) grower.

Tillandsia brachycaulos

Tillandsia brachycaulos
▾ Show Plant Description ▾
One of our larger Tillandsias, this is our most moisture-tolerant species of air plant, and the one we use most often in vivariums at NEHERP. Color can range from bright green to a deep red, depending on conditions. Flowers pink & purple, although this plant does not flower frequently. Like most Tillandsias, it benefits from a little air movement, but does not require as much as many other species. It's larger & more robust size also makes it more appropriate for use with slightly larger species (i.e. Phelsuma, Correlophus, Rhacodactylus) than other Tillandsias.

Tillandsia bulbosa

Tillandsia bulbosa
▾ Show Plant Description ▾
A bizarre looking pseudobulbous air plant that tolerates a fairly wide range of conditions. One of our favorites at NEHERP, the colors range from a deep purple to a bright green, with appearance being dictated by growing conditions. A fairly moisture-tolerant species that doesn't require as much air movement as many other Tillandsias.

Tillandsia caput-medusae

Tillandsia caput-medusae
▾ Show Plant Description ▾
Larger than it's equally unique cousin T. bulbosa, this plant is covered in trichomes, giving it a white fuzzy appearance. If planting this in a more humid environment, we suggest mounting it sideways or upside down to prevent water from collecting in the bulbous base of the plant. Due to it's larger size, we've planted these in many arboreal Gecko habitats with success. We wouldn't recommend planting this species in enclosures averaging above 85% humidity, unless a fair amount of air movement is provided.

Tillandsia Pack For Terrariums
Images for illustrative purposes only. Your mix may vary, and could include Tillandsias not currently listed.
▾ Show Plant Description ▾
This assortment of air plants includes a nice mix including inexpensive, average, and more expensive species & cultivars we work with. If you are looking to plant a vivarium or build some "showy" vivariums, this is our recommended choice. Species may include anything on this page, with at least 40% of the mix being picked from the more expensive plants (like T. brachycaulos, T. bulbosa, T. caput-medusae, T ionantha 'Fuego', T ionantha v. stricta, and T. tenuifolia 'Blue'), and the remainder being less expensive species. We might also be able to include less common species if we've got any currently in stock, but no promises. :-)

Aechmea fasciata

Silver Vase Plant

Aechmea fasciata Aechmea fasciata
▾ Show Plant Description ▾
This large, unique Bromeliad is a member of the Aechmea genus. It's versatile enough to thrive as a houseplant, or in very (very!) large vivariums. Over time, a large pink spike with bright blue flowers will grow from the center of the plant's axil. It thrives under bright light with plenty of humidity. Can be planted terrestrially in well draining soil, or epiphytically in a more humid environment. Our largest Bromeliad, this plant is sold mature at around 18in. Too big for us to propagate in our grow rooms, Aechmea fasciata is sourced from a trusted, local (Connecticut) grower.

We've got some beautiful Cryptanthus with great coloration and shape available! Ours are healthy, vibrant, and are grown long enough to resemble the healthy plants in the photos above. Colors range from deep green to bright red/pink. All plants will turn bright pink/red when kept in ideal conditions with plenty of PAR light. When kept as a houseplant, we recommend using a mix of 25-50% sterilized sand, 75-50% lightly acidic potting soil. The pictured plant (left) is growing in a 3in pot.

Tillandsia brachycaulos

Tillandsia brachycaulos
▾ Show Plant Description ▾
One of our larger Tillandsias, this is our most moisture-tolerant species of air plant, and the one we use most often in vivariums at NEHERP. Color can range from bright green to a deep red, depending on conditions. Flowers pink & purple, although this plant does not flower frequently. Like most Tillandsias, it benefits from a little air movement, but does not require as much as many other species. It's larger & more robust size also makes it more appropriate for use with slightly larger species (i.e. Phelsuma, Correlophus, Rhacodactylus) than other Tillandsias.

Tillandsia caput-medusae

Tillandsia caput-medusae
▾ Show Plant Description ▾
Larger than it's equally unique cousin T. bulbosa, this plant is covered in trichomes, giving it a white fuzzy appearance. If planting this in a more humid environment, we suggest mounting it sideways or upside down to prevent water from collecting in the bulbous base of the plant. Due to it's larger size, we've planted these in many arboreal Gecko habitats with success. We wouldn't recommend planting this species in enclosures averaging above 85% humidity, unless a fair amount of air movement is provided.

A flat-growing species of Tillandsia that makes a great accent plant for terrarium backgrounds, vines, and more. Very unique, and can be mounted upside-down for a trailing growth pattern. We've had luck planting these in a wide variety of enclosures, as they seem to be fairly forgiving.

Tillandsia tectorum

▾ Show Plant Description ▾
A truly a unique little air plant. Tectorum's fuzzy white leaves do best when mounted towards the top of a vivarium in slightly drier conditions. This is not a great Tillandsia for especially humid enclosures, and they do best with a decent amount of air flow. Does not tolerate being over-saturated well, so try to mist lightly!
