          Dear Stuart

>I'm not sure how to go about it.

          I have been growing a very small U.humboldtii plant in a
          Brocchinia tatei plant - the problem is that the Brocchinia
          is quite small. My large U.humboldtii plant would never fit
          into it but is happy to invade neighbouring pots and to
          infiltrate the water trays. U.nelumbifolia also grows in
          Bromeliads, and I think I heard/read some where of
          U.reniformis too. You are probably best sticking to these
          species if you have access to them, I thing the biggest
          limitation will be the size of your bromeliad.

          Best of luck with your attempt.

          Regards

          Loyd
