Save
Money with Bromeliads!
Why
Bromeliads?
In this recession, many people are
looking for ways to save money. One way to save a lot of money on
your landscape is through the use of bromeliads (BRO-MILL-EE-AD). Bromeliads are
basically air plants that grow in the ground, on trees, and even on rocks! They
have been used in landscaping for years in the greater Miami area, but here in Southwest
Florida they haven't quite hit the scene yet. At Seabreeze Palms, we
are aiming to change that...
Bromeliads
have many benefits:
(in most tropical,
sub-tropical, & Mediterranean climates)
-Zero water
-Zero fertilizer
-Zero maintenance
-Zero pest or disease problems
-Full sun or shade (most varieties)
-Grow in almost any soil
-Beautiful foliage year-round
-They multiply every year or two
-Available in all colors and sizes

Your Lawn Guys!
If you live in Southwest Florida, your
bushes and hedges are likely: Gardenia, Mexican Petunia, Dwarf Arboricola,
Oleander, Alamanda, Fire Bush, or other leafy plants. These plants
are used by landscapers because they are cheap, locally available, and
require trimming, fertilizer, and pest control. All of these
factors lead to more profits for landscapers and lawn guys which means more money
out of your pocket. Let's look at the average cost of a standard
"leafy" bush and a comparable bromeliad. For this comparison, we
will say there are 50 plants in your landscape (not including trees,
grass, vines, etc.)
