Tips on how to grow your plant successfully:
Light: Can be grown in spots which receive morning or late afternoon sun. Full sun at midday should be avoided.
Watering: Frequency of watering is always the most difficult cultural point to advise on. There are so many factors that influence it. As a guide during summer water once or twice a week and in winter once a week or even once in ten days to two weeks. It is important that plants dry after been watered, particularly when grown in a large clump. It is always best to water your plants in the early morning so that they dry off before nightfall.
Fertiliser: In their natural environment Tillandsia exist on very little nutrients. They do however respond to applications of fertiliser. We recommend that you apply fertiliser sparingly during the warmer months. Be sure to use a very dilute solution of a balanced water-soluble fertiliser.
Air Movement: Tillandsia require good air circulation at all times.
Humidity level: High
