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.
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.

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..
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.
GREAT VIDEO! SZUPER, GRATULÁLOK NEKED!🤗

I love the caput-madusae!

The pruinosa mentioned is tricolor melanocrater and vice versa. :)
Right! She calls Pruinosa as melanocrater tricolour. Really funny confusion)

cwn you keep them in net pots with spaghnum moss in the bottom they look great nice vid
Yes the pruinosa and tricolor are swapped.
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.
Can the air plant grow in waters also

I just bought a pink quill and was wondering the same thing about when to remove the quill

If that's a tillansia zerograghica can it tolerate shade?

Hi, awesome video! Is there any way to encourage a Tillandsia to flower more than once?

david90531 We will look into that. Thanks for pointing that out!
thank you ^^
Thank you for watching!
Some, not all, orchids are epiphytes.
Hi, do they die after they flower?
They do not! Thanks for watching!

Hello add, I come from Viet Nam, I want to bring it to Viet Nam, How?
I think you might have spell Tillandsia Xerographica wrongly. They produce baby plants call pup.
Estou precisando de umas aulas de inglês pq não entendi nada😂😂😂😂😂 mesmo assim gostei do video👏👏
*its tillandsia xerographica NOT zerographica*
so woman put on makeup to get polonated
Can the air plant grow in waters also
