Join Jack as owner Matt Bagley gives us an in depth tour around this stunning nursery! Bromeliads are one of our most used plants and we're so happy to have some new friends as growers of this amazing species!
Went there today and Chris helped me! It's so nice to get someone who knows their stuff and willing to wait on you. LOVE THIS LITTLE SLICE OF HEAVEN ON EARTH! It was amazing and beautiful!
Really enjoyed your tour especially my Husband who has grown Bromelids and Bonsai for many years. He is in his late 70’s now still growing them. He will forward your video to members of our local Bromeliad society. We are in New Zealand, many Bromelids he would love to grow but not the right climate conditions.👏🌈🇳🇿
You were like a kid in a candy shop! Thanks for highlighting this beautiful plant. I left Clearwater in the early 90's with a trunkful of bromeliads from my friends mom's place. Not only have they beautified my yard for decades now, I took some into school and now they are all over there, too. They're a plant that keeps on giving.
My daddy worked at a greenhouse in the 80s that had tons of bromilead. He was the caretaker and brought a couple home. BTW, I live in the Texas Panhandle and they grew like crazy here! I have never tried them outside but I may after watching this. I can always bring them back in for the winter. Pretty cool plant! Thanks Jack!!!
@@anakbukidplantscrafts242 They are expensive here, too! I don't have any now. This was many years ago when I was in my teens. I'm 60, now. I just never thought of them being able to live outside in our dry climate. If I had any, I would have to bring them in during our winter. It gets wayyy too cold here for them to survive.
What a beautiful array of bromeliads. I have to wonder how Bonita Bromeliads survived Hurricane Ian this year. It would be devastating if all of those lovely plants were destroyed. I have a few of those varieties in my Highlands County garden although I don’t know enough about them to determine which ones can thrive in full sun. After watching this video I will save my palm debris & maybe even my banana plant leaves to grow the plants in. I had been using dirt. Thanks for the tour.
Thanks for this well produced video, super well kept Bromeliad benches, some very nice hybrids and species... wish I could visit. That flood sounded bad, I hope you fixed it?
So beautiful, love them, such wide variety. Just learned today that the new shoots are called pups, very interesting. I've got a few plants throwing out new pups, good lesson of the day. Thank you. 🥳🙌
All I can say is WOW! These plants are so gorgeous! Thanks so much for sharing this with us Jack :) I had 1 bromeliad plant at home and the flower lasted for almost a year but sadly I killed it with too much love (I overwatered it) :(
I had no idea that there are so many different types, forms and colors. In Iowa we only see the big box store favorites. Someday I will move to Florida and grow these. They seem pretty invincible. Thanks again for another great video.
Just bought my first broms today! Went to another place up in ft myers, but I had just heard of Bonita Bromeliads today. This place was having a sale. I just love my purchases!
Lol Patricia secret named after me..... I wouldn't know what to do or pick with all that beautiful stunning looking plants i would want every color ....
Bibergia nutens does very well here in Sacramento CA. There is some winter damage each year but they clean up easily in the spring and bloom off and on all season. I grow mine in half baskets on walls and fences. .
Thanks for this tour. As I do not live down south, I had no idea of the number of types of bromeliads and how they grow . (I also never got into cacti either, especially the ones with prickly spines!)
You could dry arid bromeliads from the Dykia and Puya families. Puya especially have amazing blooms that can last a whole year! Dykia comes in many colors from silver to purple.
Probably does not do order by mail? Suggestions for here in Phoenix, AZ Sonoran Desert, sub tropical zone 9B? Some winters no freeze and when it does just for a few hours. Top three in Phoenix. I have a good deal of shade. Tropical do make it here in the sun and some in shade.
I’m so hooked on Bromeliads now! 🥰🙌🏼🙌🏼 what wattage light would you suggest for a few pups and how long should I give them light in a 24 hr period? I live on the east coast so I only get really good light about 5 or 6 months outta the year.
