Live Bromeliads – Lush Tropical Flair for Terrariums and Bioactive Builds
Add a bold splash of the tropics to your terrarium with our Live Bromeliads. These striking plants are not only beautiful, they’re incredibly functional and easy to care for. Perfect for bioactive enclosures, vivariums, and display terrariums, bromeliads create structure, color, and utility all in one. As epiphytes, they don’t grow in soil. Instead, they anchor to bark, rock, or wood, pulling nutrients from water and natural debris that collects on their leaves. That means no messy potting and no complicated care routine.
In a terrarium setting, bromeliads do more than just look good. Their central cups collect water, mimicking natural microhabitats found in rainforests. This makes them ideal for species like dart frogs, day geckos, and other small critters that love to sip from or hide in the plant. They also help regulate humidity and support the bioactive cycle by trapping organic material and creating mini reservoirs that encourage beneficial bacteria and microfauna.
Each bromeliad is completely unique, with colors ranging from deep emerald greens to bright reds, neon pinks, rich purples, and fiery oranges. Their appearance can change depending on the hybrid and lighting conditions. Under high-intensity grow lights, you’ll see those colors become even more vibrant and intense. If you're looking for a plant that levels up your terrarium design, bromeliads deliver serious visual impact.
We ship assorted bromeliads from our rotating inventory. While each plant is different, you can let us know your color preferences, and we’ll do our best to pick one that matches your request. Sizes vary depending on the plant:
Whether you’re looking for a centerpiece or a subtle pop of color, we’ve got a size that fits your setup.
Caring for bromeliads is simple and beginner-friendly. They require no soil, very little fertilizing, and only occasional misting to keep their cups filled with clean water. They prefer bright, indirect light or artificial grow lights and benefit from good airflow and moderate humidity. This makes them ideal for both hobbyists just starting out and advanced keepers building complex bioactive ecosystems.
