Yes I agree HIH, great site and thank you for your efforts!
I'm dealing with mosquito-proofing extensively landscaped areas and the large bromeliad clusters in the lower forty are all being pulled out. I'm seeing evidence of them being little vector headquarters. Mosquitos even where dunks are on the top which do not filter down to the inner or lower parts of the bromeliad, African snails and what looks like rat leftovers.
Perhaps single bromeliads are ok but clusters are not. I had some great varieties but oh well, sometimes you gotta let things go.
