OUTDOOR CARE
LIGHT
Lighting for Tillandsias should be bright but filtered (April - October).
Tillandsias love direct sun (November - March). They grow best in a greenhouse
or a frost - protected, shaded patio. They also can be grown in the house
directly in front of a window. Fresh moving air is advisable but remember
the most important care need is bright filtered light.
WATER
Thoroughly wet your Tillandsia 2-3 times per week; more often in a hot,
dry environment; less often in a cool, humid one. Plants should be given
enough light and air circulation to dry in no longer than 4 hours after
watering.
Spray misting is insufficient as the sole means of watering but may be
beneficial between regular waterings in dry climates to increase the humidity.
If the plant is in a shell, be sure to empty the water out. Tillandsias
will not survive in standing water.
An exaggerating of natural concave curve of each leaf is evidence of under-watering.
TEMPERATURE
Optimum temperature range for tillandsias kept outdoors is 50 - 90 degrees F.
FERTILIZER
Use Bromeliad fertilizer (17-8-22) twice a month. It is GREAT for blooming and
reproduction! Other water-soluble fertilizers can be used at 1/4 strength (Rapid
Grow, Miracle-Grow, etc.) if Bromeliad fertilizer is not available.
