Tillandsia are easy to grow. Spray them lightly once or twice a day. In temps over forty F you can hang them outside and the dewpoint at night will water them for you. Mounted on tiny twigs of cedar branch with Spanish Moss they can grow HUMONGOUS!
She said that the Xerographica was the largest Tillandsia, is this true? I have seen plenty of air plants over 9 inches in diameter. I see lots of Tillandsia Utriculata with a diameter of 2 feet in the Caribbean.
hi i have a tilandsia pink quill , i was wondering if i want to remove it from the pot , can i leave it without the soil , and just some stones and pebbles , would it survive? and do I have to use some kind of a fertilizer? also am i supposed to cut off the quill after its done and the rest of the plant would survive? thanks alot
I left mine in the pot but I have seen them in a video growing as an epiphyte on a tree so gravel should work fine. And, yes, cut off the old bloom spike as with all bromeliads.
As others said the names for pruinosa and tricolor melonocrater should be swapped. But could it also be Tillandsia punctulata? These two look sort of similar to me and I have one..

In general, if your air plants are living in a more humid environment, they will be able to handle a bit more sunlight since they will not dry out as quickly. ... The great Xerographica air plant is one of the few tillandsias that can take full sun. Full spectrum (fluorescent) light is a must. Regular incandescent bulbs don't emit the quality of light these plants need to photosynthesize. Your Tillandsia should be placed no further than 3 feet from the light source. Also if you're going to use fluorescent light, the plants will need, at minimum, 12 hours per day.
Zepth Qalev Xanders after they flower they will produce pups, which are more baby plants coming off the side of it, and not immediately, but eventually, the mother or original plant will die and the pups will live on, flower, produce pups, die eventually, etc.

Beautiful, Thanks! 👍🏽
Can the air plant grow in waters also
I love the caput-madusae!
how do they tolerate cold temps? I need to know when to bring them inside. I live in sc, zone 8. spanish moss grows wild here.
cwn you keep them in net pots with spaghnum moss in the bottom they look great nice vid
I really enjoyed your video, thanks
The pruinosa mentioned is tricolor melanocrater and vice versa. :)
Right! She calls Pruinosa as melanocrater tricolour. Really funny confusion)
Great introduction for the air plants! I am planning to get one, maybe a ionantha/Rubra. :D
+JooTien Ong Thanks for watching! Hope you find the plant you're looking for.

you mixed tri color and pruinosa
beautiful!!!! :) sooooo beautiful!!!!
Nice discussion but she mixed up tillandsia tricolor with tillandsia pruinosa.
Yes the pruinosa and tricolor are swapped.
Some, not all, orchids are epiphytes.

Very informative!

what does that even mean??????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think you might have spell Tillandsia Xerographica wrongly. They produce baby plants call pup.
how many spacies exist ..?
When and how do I remove the pups?
Thanks

Hi, do they die after they flower?
They do not! Thanks for watching!
