I have often heard about air plants but never really knew What they were! My Mom had a big bowl of bright green ferny stuff that didn't require water, or at least I don't think it did. She said it was an air plant. now I'm thinking my mom's plant was fake.

Well I bought some Tillandsia the other day and they just arrived. Oh my gosh they are sooo cute! Hilarious! And they feel really weird,
Do they need to be soaked right away? The tips feel quite dry.
These look nothing like what my mom had, that she called airplant.

We have a tub of water out in the back for our crows that we watch and feed, it's probably all rain water in it at the moment.

Should I soak them in tap water? I do have a large jug of tap water that sat out overnight,.

I'm wondering how fast they grow...
