Air Plants (Tillandsia) - Info & Care

Here's my collection of air plants and how I care for them. There are many different kinds so they're fun to collect!

The LTH Meter: the first meter that measures light, temperature, and humidity

i once lost my air plant for two weeks. i found it in a bucket of water outside. honestly its never looked better. it probably preferred the unforgiving slow drowning of a cold bucket of water then my loving embrace. so many tears

Love how you respect your airplants....you can tell when you stated "I move them around so they don't get jealous"....I laughed out loud because I do the same thing!! Thank you for sharing!!

" i try to rotate which ones get to go up here so that they dont get jealous" 😂😂 you are so cute! I do the same that is why i loved that part.

I have never heard of air plants before. This is amazing. I'm so glad I found your video...thanks for the new found knowledge! I'm going to buy a couple.

your video is super helpful and informative. thanks to you I have 9 air plants that are still alive and thriving after 2 months. I've shared your video a few times with folks on the orchid forum asking about air plants. 😊

i keep mine by my kitchen sink and mist them with a spray bottle whenever i remember/walk by. i've had great success and they've been alive for almost 4 years. i never have heard of the submerging method and it was definitely very interesting to see how you do it!! great video!

I submerged my Tillandsia Xerographica (big guy) and afterwards I even tried drying it out with a blow drier and left it upside down for a while but it started rotting :C
I found out because today I tried vaporizing it and the leaves weren't turning green as usual, but the tips were yellowish, softer and weak.

I submerged it because I thought it was looking too dry but achieved the opposite effect, avoid submerging your xerographica!
Its base is different from other air plants and it is easier for water to remain inside it.
Only vaporize it every now and then with mineral water..

I tried removing all the rotten leaves from the base and the inside seems still green and healthy but it's very weak and I'm not sure it will recover. I hope it gets better.

2:07 "...But in the wild -shows picture of a plant store I've seen them grow bigger..." BWAHAHA!1!2!1! Great video!

[marklamb]

Thanks for sharing! I used air plants in a landscaping project in the Turks and Caicos. They grow wild and get really big there. It was amazing to see them in the wild.

[breannepennell]

i mist mine on Sunday and Tuesday night of every week and that's seems to work better then my last failed attempts, but after seeing your Medusa I am definitely going to get one. Great video and camera work!! ☺☺
