Bromeliads are a diverse group of plants belonging to the family Bromeliaceae. They are primarily native to tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas. These plants are known for their unique rosette shape and colorful flowers, which can attract pollinators like birds and insects. Many bromeliads are epiphytes, meaning they can grow on other plants without harming them, using them for support instead. Bromeliads have adapted to various environments, from rainforests to deserts. They store water in their leaves, creating a reservoir that helps them survive in dry conditions. Popular species include Ananas comosus, the pineapple, and Guzmania, known for its striking blooms.
