thanks plz reply fast

It really depends on the type of brom. Most Neo's will have a stolon (a stick like object at the base) that can simply be stuck into a foam/coco background. You can also use a silicone based glue such as "goop" to attach them. For Tree Fern panels, I would take a screw driver and create a divet in the panel, then glue in place.. goop will dry in about 15 minutes.. you will have to air the tank out for a few days to remove all of the fumes..

You can also support them with bamboo scewers shoved into the fern panels at angles just under the brome or between the leaves (not through them.) These can be removed later or cut off short after the bromeliad has taken root in the panel.
