Theres some broms I'd like to order but dont know what size they'll need. In the past I've only done false bottoms.
Actually it's not required to purchase the plants. You just need to have idea of what you want. As far as neoregalia bromeliads you can pin them to the background. They're epiphitic so they'll grow attached to wood or a coco peat moss covered background. You can poke holes with toothpicks through the background and cross them to hold the brom in place. I make a hole in the background and push the stolon(stem) into the background and use glue gun to hold it in place. They'll root to the background within 6-8 months. Some people use wire or twist ties. A buddy of mine uses fishing line to tie them
