My "build"

No standing water on a brom leaf, what??? You gotta link me to that article.

I've also heard that you shouldn't allow begonia or violet leaves have standing water on them, but my violets are constantly wet and never had an issue. Begonias can go either way though.

Flushing the brom is as simple as spraying water down into the cnet and letting it fill up and overflow for a few seconds. It just helps replace the stale water that has been sitting down inside it.

Ohh nice bill I though they got SOME nutrients from the root. Thanks! I guess I should clarify. When I say "Wrap the roots" I mean I just lay sphagnum over them to fide the wires. I don't physically wrap them in the sphagnum. I do it mainly to hide the flora wire and make the tank look prettier while the broom attaches itself to the surround hardscape.

Never heard of not having standing water on the bromeliad leaves.... My broms stay wet nearly 24/7 and are doing fine.

I read SO many articles yesterday, but let me see if I can find it.

Still wondering how to attach with the wire properly? Do you think floral wire could also hold the barrier to the foam? It wouldn't have to be really sturdy, maybe I could pierce into it like a staple type thing?

ok, here is where I read it.... maybe it's just this specific variety. I don't even know if this is the one I have, it just looked the closest that I could tell.
