Ken's right....I also have 50-60 Tillandsias growing, all "mounted"...and when I say mounted, they are just stuck into little gaps and crevices on a big wall of driftwood. But you can stick them anywhere...I even have some where I just twisted a little wire around their base (not too tight) and then twisted the other end of the wire into a hanger and hung them on the wall. They pup out in all directions and make a little "ball" of Tillies on the end of the wire. Looks like a hairy Christmas ornament.

But I've had Tillies rot if they are too smothered even by their driftwood hole on the wall (if they get too tight for their little gap). They hate having too much around their bottoms. Otherwise, they are rock star plants!
