| Tillandsia is an air plant that grows on trees and on rocks -- it is rarely grown in pots. Tillandsia is also known as Spanish moss. It is found either with green or gray leaves. Tillandsia was once a rare plant, but is now growing more in gardens mounted on solid objects such as rocks, shells, driftwood and slate. Only a few varieties of tillandsia plants can adapt to soil: T. cyanea variety or T. lindenii. Place your tillandsia in a location with bright light, but not direct sun. If you are growing your tillandsia away from a window, grow it under fluorescent lights. Saturate the tillandsia plant using a spray mister. If the air is hot and dry, mist the plant daily. If the air is cool, misting three times a week is sufficient. Grow your Tillandsia plants in a warm location with air temperatures between 70 and 85 degrees. The plants thrive in high humidity such as 50 percent. Although the tillandsia plants will survive freezing temperatures, they thrive in warm weather. Purchase a liquid fertilizer and dilute to one-quarter strength. Apply the fertilizer to the base of the mounted plant with a sprayer once a month. Good luck with your new plant! |
