| This is a great example of our bromeliads.
This plant comes in a 6 inch diameter pot, and they are usually
between 2 and 3 feet tall, and also quite wide as shown here. There are
many different varieties, each with their own growth pattern. The
examples on this page show our most common types. Call (504) 529-1638 or
email us john@harkinsneworleans.com for our current selection. |
Our bromeliads come direct from Guatemala. We usually have a nice
selection of colors and varieties. Special ordering for color or type is
available, however there may be a wait of several weeks or so. |

| Bromeliads are very hardy and easy to maintain. They
require filtered (not direct) sunlight. Water the soil once a week and
mist the flower often. Do not add water to the center cup. This last
advice goes against most of the directions you will see for bromeliads.
While water in the center is a normal and natural thing in their native
habitat, it will quickly rot the center of the plant in a home
environment. |
Many people believe the colored, center leaves are the flower,
actually the true flowers will appear within the brightly colored
leaves. |

| We dress our plants in wicker baskets and add Spanish
moss to cover the soil. We also have several decorative containers, at
an additional charge, to choose from. They may be seen by scrolling to
the bottom of this page. |
This is a wonderful variety. The central flower bract almost appears
as feathers arising from the main plant. The blossoms will appear along
the edges of the red feathery spikes. |

| This lush lemony yellow one has several little side
shoots starting. This is how the plant reproduces. Eventually the main
stem will die back, as the side shoots (or pups as we call them) gain in
size. |
This jewel is our smaller size. They come dressed in a terra cotta
pot with Spanish moss covering the soil. This particular variety will
stay shorter making it nice for a centerpiece or as an accent to an
ocassional table. |

| This beauty is the Splendide
variety. They have very strongly striped foliage and a brilliant orange
flower spike. It certainly lives up to it's name! |
We usually dress our larger bromeliads in
white-washed wicker baskets, and our small bromeliads in terra cotta
pots. Shown above are examples of alternate containers that are
currently available. These will add $12 to $15 the
entire price of the plant, ask your salesperson for details. |
