No soil, no problem
What you need to provide for your Tillandsia:
? Most of them are suited to bright light or filtered sun – but avoid direct sunlight, especially in summer, as this may lead to sunburn.
? They can survive between 5°C to 35°C, but the ideal temperature for them to grow is 15°C to 25°C.
? They need a well-ventilated area, as they love fresh, moving air. The movement of air dries the plants between waterings, which helps avoid diseases that result from overwatering.
? Spray them with water around three times per week at night until the silvery leaves turn darker. You can tell if there's a lack of water by how curly the leaves appear, save for a few curly-leaved species, e.g. Tillandsia streptophylla and Tillandsia duratii Visiani.
? Fertilising isn't necessary, but it will increase the growth of your plants and their blooms. If you do this, use fertiliser specif-ically for Tillandsia. Don't fertilise if it's too hot or if you've just bought your plant within the past two to three weeks.
