Easy To Grow Air Plants Care / My Air Plant Tillandsia Collection tips and tricks for happy Plants. Tillandsia is a genus of around 540 species of evergreen, perennial flowering plants in the family Bromeliaceae, native to the forests, mountains and deserts of Central and South America, the southern United States and the West Indies. The thinner-leafed varieties grow in rainy areas and the thick-leafed varieties in areas more subject to drought. Moisture and nutrients are gathered from the air (dust, decaying leaves and insect matter) through structures on the leaves called trichomes. Tillandsia species are epiphytes (also called aerophytes or air plants) -- i.e. they normally grow without soil while attached to other plants. Epiphytes are not parasitic, depending on the host only for support. -wikipedia ORCHID CARE, CARNIVOROUS PLANT CULTURE, GARDENS, GREENHOUSES & MORE... Hosted By Brad Taylor...

I put them one on a slice of dry sassafras and I wanted to know how long it takes to grow its roots to attach to it's all support

I love you.

I'm a new tillandsia fan, but as I watch this video, the first thing that I noticed was your Tulamben-Bali Diving Adventure shirt. ☺ Hello from Indonesia, and thank you for your tillandsia care tips!

Thank you, I recently bought my first air plants, was told they don't need watering. But found they were looking very grey, after watching you spray yours I did the same for mine. They greened up in seconds, it was amazing to watch.

Hi, I have a tillandsia ionantha that is growing a pup, but I noticed that the parent plant is starting to kinda turn a caramel color and the bottom leaves. Would you suggest to not water as much. I mist all my plants twice a week, and the first Saturday of every month, I give them a 20-30 min bath. Thank you:)

Ooooo! You're a Canadian!!!. Lovely! I live in Quebec. I bought my first air plant today, but I need to find a Canadian supplier. Both for air plants and spanish moss. Can you point me in the right direction?

Great video. I have a Tillandsia madusae. I am seeing varying recommendations on how to water. Some say you need to soak them while others say that misting is enough. What is your strategy?

i killed a lot of mine..so jealous of people who can take care of them well..i only have 4 left =( out of 15

You said you hit the flower with a paint brush could you explain more on this?

Hola!!!como se mantiene el clavel del aire???A la sombra o al sol?gracias!!

Brad you rock! ❤️

hi!Brad..i love your videos..they are very informative.

You say that when they are thirsty they look silver, but minutes after soaking them they will be silver! How long do you wait between watering? :)

love the video and your collection. I wish you would have gone into the "flowering so I used a paintbrush thing" never heard of that! mine are small but I have had them for maybe 4 years now and a few have flowered.

what sort of water do you recommend using to water them?

Beautiful plants

Hi Brad - bought an air plant the other day and the florist advised me to spray it once in awhile with a epsom salt solution - have you ever heard of this...I am guessing it would supply some mineral nutrients. Thanks for your videos; they are very informative.

How do you mount them on wood? Glue gun?
