Where do Bromeliads live?

Bromeliads primarily thrive in tropical and subtropical regions, often found in Central and South America, as well as the southern United States. They can grow in a variety of habitats, including rainforests, mountains, and even arid environments. Many species are epiphytes, meaning they grow on other plants, particularly trees, absorbing moisture and nutrients from the air and debris around them. Others can be terrestrial, growing directly in the soil.
