Bromelia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Bromeliaceae, which includes over 50 species. These plants are native to tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas, particularly in Central America and South America. They are known for their striking rosettes of leaves and colorful flowers, which can attract various pollinators. Bromelias typically thrive in well-drained soils and can be found in diverse habitats, including rainforests and savannas. Some species are epiphytic, meaning they grow on other plants without harming them, while others are terrestrial. They are also popular in ornamental gardening due to their unique appearance and low maintenance requirements.
