Benevolence of the Bromeliad in Two Faces
Dr Abe V Rotor
Miniature pond in the heart of the bromeliad is nursery and home of many organisms, including frogs and fish.It is Nature's pond in the sky where bromeliads live as epiphytes. It constitutes a complete ecosystem.
A seedling of a fig grows from the dead heart of a bromeliad and develops into a monstrous tree monster - the strangler's fig or balete, which will eventually colonize and kill the host tree and all its symbionts.
