You will receive 1 bare root plant cutting similar to the first photo.  My bromeliads are grown outdoors and perfect for landscape use or indoor culture.   This medium sized bromeliad grows in a natural rosette and will cling to trees.  In shade they will be green and white, with filtered light they will get the pink/red hue.  Do not plant in a spot that has full/all day sun as the leaves will burn.   You can plant in potting soil, but Bromeliads really do not need lots of potting soil, a mixture of bark and sphagnum moss in a shallow pot will work.
