In 2000, almost all bromeliads native to Brazil were destroyed, leading to a change in the ecosystem. Let us not repeat this mistake in the other countries where the disease is progressing.
In the video below you will see an excellent explanation of the ecological dynamics of bromeliads and the entire ecosystem that is created when they accumulate water in their leaves.
Far from being a means of breeding Aedes aegyptian exotic insect, these plants have a reservoir of other insects, amphibians and anurans that can prevent the development of the dengue-carrying mosquito.

Therefore, it is not clean water and does not create suitable conditions for the reproduction of mosquitoes. Dengue vector.
