No, Ruud. All my tillandsia are native to the USA, specifically S. Florida. Though I will water them a bit less than the majority of my mounted orchids in the fall and winter months, they pretty much get watered on the same schedule as all my potted orchids. Keep in mind that they will get bright light from early morning till dusk while in the solarium. They will actually get more light in the fall and winter months than they do in the spring and summer months. They all reside under large oak and cedar trees while outside. You might have noticed that the two tillandsia are high and on a separate "fork" and thus are far enough from any orchid that I can easily control their watering schedule. Practically speaking, and this is simply based on my experiences growing epiphytic plants, it is very hard to over-water mounted plants.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
