Air Plants (Tillandsia)

Description

An interesting plant from Mexico and South America. Easily grown as long as a few rules are applied. Rain water is the preferred option, never distilled water. A good soaking under water every 7-10 days is generally better than a mist every now and then but regular misting is also OK. Good light is essential but not direct sunlight. Temperatures are best above 10 C. These plants can look amazing when used creatively. Try attaching them to cork or pieces of wood. They are certainly eye catchers. Difffering colours and shapes just add to the attraction.
