will broms with a nice set of already established roots still attatch to the background?
That's what I do, hack em off. Those are thin, stringy dirt roots. You want the brom to re-grow thick, heavy roots for attachment.Cut it all off. They will typically rot anyways. Let it grow fresh new ones that are accustomed to the terrarium environment.
Antone, (frogtofall) has grown more than a plant or two. Any plant advice he's got for you is gold.I'm not sure, is it worth it even though i have had them a week and they are settling in? All are doing great...
They'll be fine. You might find it interesting that epiphytic bromeliads obtain most of their nutrient via their foliage rather than the roots themselves.Ok then, I will. Hopefully they won't die on me...
I cut the roots today, and discovered some of the broms have developed small pups since I got them... so i guess I am doing pretty good!!They'll be fine. You might find it interesting that epiphytic bromeliads obtain most of their nutrient via their foliage rather than the roots themselves.
