Tillandsia / Airplants care and propagation

This is a general care guide to keep your tillandsias alive and happy. I explain these plants natural habitat and why we cannot care for them the same way we do our regular houseplants. I also show you the different care for indoors and outdoors. I give you a tour on my small collection of tillandsias and show you some clips of some peculiar ones I’ve seen at nursery tours.

Here’s a summary for the care: Some direct sunlight, watered very frequently but do not let water pool on the crown, fertilise very lightly, no pest pressures, separate offsets for propagation.

Thank you (!!!) for discussing air purifying qualities of plants! I really dislike when my co-workers or boss talk up the qualities of a plant to a customer (garden center) by mentioning that it'll purify the air. The last time a customer asked me if a Spathiphyllum would purify their air I said "Yeah... If you bought about 400 of them for your bedroom".

I loooove my airplants. and yes, I deep water them aaaall only once a week so really very easy! I need more!!

warning to people, especially in the united states: chlorinated tap water is not so great for these plants. please let water sit for a bit or use rain, filtered, or distilled water for this to ensure long and happy lives <3

So glad you did this! I keep killing mine no matter how much I try and dry them out after deep watering them. The fan idea is great! I think I'm going to try one again. Thanks Sean!
