Alcantarea imperialis 'Silver Plum'

I really want to put this in my front garden but know it won't go well in clay. I think I need to compost the soil first. Does anyone have any advice on what I can do to plant this in my garden?

@Muzz67 has lots of bromeliads in her garden. She’s in Adelaide.

I have many of my Broms in their pots buried down so they look like they are in the ground.They dont like wet feet and rely on the cups to hold water.A shaded area with bright light is the best .Some sun is ok but not full sun.If you put somewhere in a pot you can move it around until you find its happy place. @brightcolours 😁

@muzz67 thank you so much for the advice. I will be doing this for sure. Fantastic. Also thank you @brightcolours for getting @muzz67 to help me 👍

You are very welcome. I'll tag you in a puc of my brom area which gets bright light under shadecloth but also full afternoon sun in winter.Sime are in ground some are in pots as you will see Mark 😁
