Tips on how to grow your plant successfully:
Light: Best grown in partial shade. Can be grown in spots which receive morning sun or late afternoon sun.
Watering: Frequency of watering is always the most difficult cultural point to advise on. There are so many factors which influence it. Plants grown in pots will take longer to dry out and will need less frequent watering. As a guide during summer water once a week and in winter once in ten days to two weeks. It is important that plants dry after been watered. It is always best to water your plants in the early morning so that they dry off by 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.
