Bromeliads, or Bromeliaceae, are highly appreciated plants because of their incredible colours and inflorescences, and their ease of growth in pots. Canarius.com on the internet offers tough-leaved species with colourful leaves, grown in the Canary Islands.

Our Selection of Bromeliads
Delicate flowers of Billbergia
Our shop offers a fine selection of tough-leaved bromeliads that are never available through garden centres in Europe.
Most of them belong to the genera Aechmea, Billbergia and Neoregelia. In the Bromeliad Section of our Shop you can buy the bromeliads with the thickest and most colourful leaves, better adapted to hot and cold conditions of outdoor life, along with a selection of “classic” hybrids that have succeeded throughout the years. Our species grow well in non-tropical climates. Here they are grown outdoors because they like temperature changes and stand outdoors conditions in general. Our bromeliads will better tolerate:
- Hot direct sun
- Wind
- Occasional frosts
- Drought for weeks
Different light intensities will give plants with different growth and different colours. We grow our plants outdoors, with little or no shade, in order to achieve robust growth and bright colours.
We ship bare root “pups”
Bare-root pups of Aechmea nudicaulis, ready to be packed.
All bromeliads in catalogue are sold as “pups”, which are the robust basal suckers produced after blooming. Pups are collected shortly after you place the order. This type of cutting is the safest way to reproduce bromeliads, because all pups are identical to the mother plant with no unwanted crossings. Futhermore, pups are much stronger than seedlings. Our pups are very easy to root – some will already show some roots when you open the box. Most of these pups will reach flowering size in one year. The largest species can take 2 – 3 years to reach maturity.
Aechmea pectinata pups produced in the Canary Island
- Large species give large pups: We select and ship to your home cuttings of 35-50 cm for large species such as A. blanchetiana, A. callichroma and Neoregelia joannis. Their weight is 300-600 grams. Pups of large species will often lack roots.
- Small species give small pups: Neoregelia maculata, Aechmea gamosepala, Billbergia elegans, Billbergia distachya can measure 18-30 cm and weight just 120-200 grams. Pups of small species will often have roots.
