Where they grow naturally there are are lots of ferns on the branches which collect leaf debris and that is what these grow in.
to grow them on trees here we need to tie a u shaped basket to the tree and fillit with a brom mix. It looks good when they have
grown out and covered the pot. The small types like Kays chandelier will fill a large basket in only 2 or 3 years. The larger top one
is much slower. The bags of orchid mix that Bunnings sells are not too bad for broms. The family to grow on bare trees is the
Tillandsias but they are flamin expensive. Even Bunnings want $7.00 each for single growth ones.
