5. Dress up plain walls A line of three beautiful pots planted with bromeliads in this Brisbane garden is a great way to design an interesting focal point in a small garden, reducing the impact of the high walls. The timber panels add further interest, enlivening what would otherwise be a plain background.

Timber pattern. Vertical slats on a smoothly rendered wall are simple and inexpensive but oh-so striking! The series of giant bromeliads (Alcantarea imperialis) gives the space colour and texture, while the pebble pots introduce another natural element to the zone. As a finishing touch, low-voltage uplights are perfectly lined up to add extra impact after dark.MORE11 Tricks With Side Gardens13 Clever Ideas to Bring a Little Bounce to Your BackyardBackyard Bliss: 20 Spaces You’d Refuse to Leave

9. Bromeliads Most bromeliads are epiphytes, meaning they gather moisture and nutrients from the air and rain, not through their roots. Many, such as this giant bromeliad Alcantarea imperialis ‘Rubra’ also have a central urn that traps water and insects to nourish the plant. If growing in a pot, all you need to do is keep the urn full of water and position the bromeliad in a spot that suits – some species prefer more shade than others. Anchor plants firmly in a bed of bark, pumice, gravel or any other free-draining medium inside the pot. TIP: To give bromeliads an extra boost, liquid feed occasionally with a diluted organic or fish-based fertiliser.
