>>first of all i have an unknown species of Bromeliad and id like to id it.i was wondering if anyone knows a place i can go online and see one of the more common Bromeliads available.i bought it in home depot so im sure its common.second question is,it is a nice size but im wondering,as the flower grows taller,if i could cut it off and if i do,will it grow back? i love the flower(its red and fleshy) but its getting too tall and nearly touches the top of the cage.if i cut it off and if it can grow back,how long will that take?can all Bromeliads be mounted on a wall? i bought it and removed the roots from the soil and wrapped them in wet spagnum moss and then attached that to the wall.do you think it will survive like this even if its not an airplant Bromeliad?
If you keep the moss dampened, not soaking wet it may take just fine. If it is allowed to dry out repeatedly things will not go well. If it likes it wjere it is you will see "pups in a matter of weeks. Home- depot carries many of the common varieties of broms, but without a discripition of both leaf and flower identification is impossible. I would bet some species of Guzmania though
