I've been admiring all the wonderful tillandsia posted here. I have a small specimen in a hanging glass bottle that I received as a gift that seems to be doing fairly well but have a question in regards to an impulse purchase of some clearance Christmas globes ( meant to hang on the tree I suppose ) with teeny tillandsia that aren't looking so good. The plants are not green so I'm not sure they are even alive. The globes I assume are meant to represent a little terrarium I guess. The plants were securely nestled in some sphagnum moss in the globes. They seemed to be drying out despite spritzing with water so I pulled them out to soak in some water in the hope they would perk up. They look marginally better since doing that.Think these little fellows have any chance? I didn't pay much for them so not a huge loss if they die but thought they were interesting and worth a try. Likely just a marketing ploy. Grumbling
