How to grow Air Plants (Tillandsia)

The plant of the week is the Air Plant. The Tillandsia family is a large group of bromiliads that are easy to grow as houseplants. This tropical beauty is fun to grow because the possibilities are endless options for mounting. Some info to add about these plants is that if you live in a humid climate once you get the plants going they will need vary little misting. I live in a desert climate where the humidity is low so I need to mist near the plan a few times per week. please note that the fuzzy types prefer no mist.

Hello Sir. Nice video and information. Wanted to know in what kind of pot or container should i place air plants.

I guess your airplants won't be enjoying a soak in a bowl of water if they're glued on! Just lots of misting.
