bromeliads
Pineapple's plant family
Bromeliads are tropical plants native to the Americas, characterized by rosettes of stiff leaves that often form a central cup capable of holding water.
The family includes pineapples, Spanish moss, and many ornamental houseplants prized for their colorful foliage and long-lasting flowers.
The bromeliads in the greenhouse need misting twice a week.
