For me, spraying does nothing but create problems, even in my extremely dry mediterranean climate during the summer. I instead found that soaking gives them the time to absorb water, so that they can be left dry for days, without worrying about dehydration or sprayng all the time.

Great video, I have a question about the Spanish moss, Do they require the same growing conditions as the tillandsias that grow up in the trees in direct sunlight? I want to try and grow some Spanish moss but I don't understand their growing conditions.
Thanks for all the knowledge of the different tillandsia plants and their growing conditions 💚🌿💯
