If there's light, there is growth
Bromeliads cover a coconut palm tree at the Sarapiqui Rainforest Lodge. Epiphytic species, such as those int he photograph can be found growing on other plants or anything in which their roots can get a foothold to hang on. Their ability to obtainnutrition and moisture from the atmosphere has earned these species of bromeliads the name, "Air Plants". The leaves are in a spiral arrangement known as a "rosette." The baseof the leaves in the rosette overlaps to form a water reservoir. This reservoir collects leaf detris and insects which nourish the plant.
