Possum droppings in Bromeliads
| | |

| I have numerous bromeliads under trees and note that between flushes they accumulate at least one pellet in the tank. Is this beneficial? How many is too much ? Should I collect more and drop them in ? |

| Chris I'd let nature take its course without tampering too much. In theory that's what the wells are there for - to collect litter, dirt and dead insects for nutrients. I would not be chucking raw organic material on mine but can't see that a bit of possum poo would be too harmful. Still, I don;t expect it's ever been tested. We will see as our baby re-emerged from the bush land last night into the trees above my broms. |

| sounds like nature at work to me, droppings from birds etc.,. would be their main source of nutrients in the wild, don't see the need for flushing if i understand your meaning just let them be they'll happily go through their cycle and provide bountiful blooms and colours. len mail len lens garden page |
