Las bromelias son un tipo de plantas que pertenecen a la familia de Bromeliaceae. En esta familia se incluyen unas 3000 especies y 56 géneros. Proceden casi en exclusividad de América, excepto � Pitcairnia feliciana � de origen africano, Guinea. El género Tillandsia , el más numeroso posee 420 especies. Sus utilidades son muy diversas, destacando el uso ornamental, textil, alimentario (Ananas comosum es la conocida piña tropical) además de las propiedades curativas de otras. Son plantas fáciles de cultivar y sorprenden con una floración muy brillante y duradera.

The Bromeliaceae family is huge, and many are not epiphytic, while there are epiphytic plants that are not bromeliads, so your translation would have to carefully specify that you are not speaking of all bromeliads or all epiphytic plants.

I believe they're speaking of Tillandsia usneoides - Spanish moss, which is not a true moss (bryophyte).

From Wikipecia:
Bromeliaceae (the bromeliads) is a family of monocot flowering plants of around 3,170 species native mainly to the tropical Americas, with a few species found in the American subtropics and one in tropical west Africa, Pitcairnia feliciana.[1] It is the one of the basal families within the Poales and is unique because it is the only family within the order that has septal nectaries and inferior ovaries.[2] These inferior ovaries characterize the Bromelioideae, a subfamily of the Bromeliaceae.[3] The family includes both epiphytes, such as Spanish moss (Tillandsia usneoides), and terrestrial species, such as the pineapple (Ananas comosus). Many bromeliads are able to store water in a "tank" formed by their tightly-overlapping leaf bases. However, the family is diverse enough to include the tank bromeliads, grey-leaved epiphytic Tillandsia species that gather water only from leaf structures called trichomes, and a large number of desert-dwelling succulents.
The largest bromeliad is Puya raimondii, which reaches 3–4 m tall in vegetative growth with a flower spike 9–10 m tall, and the smallest is probably Spanish moss.
