Tillandsia is a genus of around 540 species of evergreen, perennial flowering plants in the family Bromeliaceae, native to the forests, mountains and deserts of Central and South America, the southern United States and the West Indies.
The thinner-leafed varieties grow in rainy areas and the thick-leafed varieties in areas more subject to drought. Moisture and nutrients are gathered from the air (dust, decaying leaves and insect matter) through structures on the leaves called trichomes.
Tillandsia species are epiphytes (also called aerophytes or air plants) -- i.e. they normally grow without soil while attached to other plants. Epiphytes are not parasitic, depending on the host only for support. -wikipedia

Anyone else find air plants addictive af? lol.
They are the pokemon of the plant world.
Absolutely
ye damaged my spine so it's my lightweight gardening. bought aquarium rocks to put them on and some bonsai trays to put sand slate and mini mountains .list is endless. ye, I'm hooked
I just recently got some air plants I am so excited I don't know what to do I just moved into a little apartment next to my daughter and I wanted a little hobby I'm 78 years old and the first ones I got open them up and you would have thought I had a new baby I was so excited so I'm reading all about them and I hope they do well if you have any suggestions for me I would love to hear from you I can't wait to get them mounted and get them going I'll let you know how they do thank you Joyce
How did they go grandma Joyce 🥺💛
I never knew spanish moss was considered an air plant! Thanks for teaching me something new. Your green house looks like heaven!
I am disabled and on a tiny budget . So I don’t have much money for extras . I do love looking at all your beautiful plants and your greenhouse . Thank you for sharing
Thank you, I recently bought my first air plants, was told they don't need watering. But found they were looking very grey, after watching you spray yours I did the same for mine. They greened up in seconds, it was amazing to watch.
hey brad, I work at Russell's bromeliads, where you got your air plants from. I recognized the tag and we ship to Canada quite often. The spiky one you show after your Ericknoblock is known as "vernicosa" and your little one called ionantha is pronounced, (I-on-an-tha) all tillandsia are in the bromeliad family and all tillandsia are epiphytes', they take no nurturance through their roots, only use is to grasp trees. Yes some bromeliads are epiphytes but not all are, they need some soil. Enjoy!
Adrian Cousinit cool, thanks for the great info!
I just bought my first 3 airplants today and have been watching TH-cam trying to learn more. I came across your channel and have learned a lot so far.. thanks
The air plant roots are actually very interesting because they serve no purpose but to attach to trees or mounts, they actually don't take in any water (weird). I have a Tillandsia Cyanea which is actually a species of tillandsia that grows in the ground, you should check it out the blooms are amazing
Terrestrial tillandsia?
I have a Tricolor I found randomly in our yard (maybe blown in like a tumbleweed) and I just wanted to thank you for this video, it's a great look at them and extremely informative!
thank you for teaching us about air plants. I love them alllllllllllllllll
thank you, very informative, love the Spanish moss.
Spanish moss (Tillandsia usneoides) is an epiphytic flowering plant that often grows upon larger trees in tropical and subtropical climates. You have a lovely collection:)
I have a few myself. Thanks for the tip about being in humidity all the time. I didnt know that.
Brad you rock! ❤️
yay! i'm happy you finally did a video on your air plants :) they all look great! i especially like the mounted one with its' colors :)
I'm a new tillandsia fan, but as I watch this video, the first thing that I noticed was your Tulamben-Bali Diving Adventure shirt. ☺ Hello from Indonesia, and thank you for your tillandsia care tips!
thanks Greg! Yeah it is a big glass but it just had water in this time I'm afraid haha.
Thanks for watching!
I love your greenhouse. I love to collect rare succulent, cactus, and air plants. Thank you for sharing your filming.
Awesome collection 👏
Best channel ever!!! So damn happy i found it!!
Very nice air plant..I love it
hi!Brad..i love your videos..they are very informative.
Woh!!!!! We nv knew you had Tillandsia!!!!!!!!
Great video ty🌱💯
Awesome advice! Thanks!
Great video !
They are great plants, another I missed in the video was The thinner-leafed varieties grow in rainy areas and the thick-leafed varieties in areas more subject to drought.
Brads Greenhouse & Gardening kkkk
Enjoyed the video! I too grow a few tills. Fun plants!
thanks! just trying to save space by mounting it with the Orchid. I may just mount a few more that way.
fun and low maintenance! Its a good combo
Excellent video so chilled but helpful and informative.
They are all very pretty and so delicate! You have a fantastic green thumb and greenhouse! Lucky you!
beautiful plants , nice video..
Love them
thanks so much for sharing
Lovely!!
Wow! just happen to watch this video exactly 7 years after it was made. Very cool video. thanks
Beautiful plants
I luv how you can just plop air plants into any container for instant decor results :)
sorry to be off topic but does someone know a tool to log back into an Instagram account..?
I somehow forgot my login password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me!
@Harper Kody instablaster ;)
@Henrik Kendrick thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm trying it out atm.
I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Henrik Kendrick it worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much you really help me out !
@Harper Kody You are welcome :)
Congratulations for you garden.
my dear friend I fall in love with them but i cant find them in my country they are perfect good luck and thanks for video
Thanks for sharing
Very interesting, I enjoyed watching your videos!
Love them I remember them in Portugal
Sick ass video big homie!
I love air plants after being introduced to them. I have a crested gecko in a live planted set up with a custom background and have spanish moss, tricolor, seleriana, oaxacana, velutina, tenuifolia,pseudobaileyi and a few others as well as some bromeliads such as neoregelia fireball. Air plants are by far my favorite kind of plant for their versatility, nice video and nice green house. Also my tricolor has just bloomed and it has gone a fantastic deep red, very pleasing on the eye!
Yes, Air plants are so fun and easy. Thanks for watching!
Great little collection you have there :) I thought it was neat that you mounted one with an orchid.
its good video!!!
So glad, no music. Soothing voice. Informative.. Thank you
Thank you
Someone gifted me a pillow sized air plant bunch lol, researching how to care for em now
Cool, have to have some big glass than !
yes!, thanks for watching!
Im just full of surprises!
nice brassia brad, and i see that wine glass in the back there haha im glad im not the only one who enjoys a drink while watching the plants grow.
I'm in the UK, what sort of winter temperatures do Tillandsias need
glad you liked, that one red one is awesome. it is going green now...not sure why. Any idea?
Nice collection! (Am so wishing I had a greenhouse now....)
I saw some air plants at the local garden center the other day. I didn't know anything about them so didn't get one, butafter watching your video, I am goiing back and give it a try.
I really enjoy these I have two of the regular kind not sure which variety its in one of my videos. I also have the Spanish moss I didn't know I had to soak It. I just mist it once in a while until it turns dark green. Currently getting obsessed with These. Previously I had the bulbosa type they couldnt handle the cold and died
very nice!
Thanks!
roots help air plants grab on the surface of a tree or were it is
good
I don't have a video with everything but I try to do a monthly orchid update, Carnivorous plant update, greenhouse update and a quarterly garden update.
Omg Brad are you related to Elijah Wood? This was a great video as I'm a beginner to Tillandsia. Thanks for sharing such great advice : )
Awesome, glad I could help answer a few questions for you. Thanks for watching!
What/where/how do I make/buy fertilizer for my air plants. I've ordered a variety pack of tillandsias, but they didn't come with fertilizer. I enjoyed your video very much, it was very helpful, and your plants are gorgeous!
Hi Brad. I have just started working with and obsessing about Tillandsias!! I am in Cornwall in the UK and am quite concerned about how to keep my plants. I have a small home and no space for a green house unfortunately. I do keep them well watered and sprayed and dunked in water every month or so for 6-8 hours. I am worried that over winter the sun is lacking around here....humidity isn't a problem but do you have any suggestions about keeping them warm and in sun during the winter at all? You have a wonderful collection, i love the spanish moss but it is quite difficult to come by here. Hoping to build up my collection over time. Your videos are amazing! keep up the good work!! And thank you for the orchid clip tip! I may well borrow that one!
yes they are cool. Now go but one...maybe two!
hi brad, can you post a video of the air plant mounted with the orchid? I've recently started getting into both types of plants. I'd love to mount an orchid with a phalaenopsis orchid!
Its kinda funny ,I live in Florida and we have spanish moss everywhere ,I never thought how beautiful it is to some people ,also there is wild green moss growing all around our area ,its fun to watch these videos
I put them one on a slice of dry sassafras and I wanted to know how long it takes to grow its roots to attach to it's all support
you changed your youtube background. i like. i have air plants too
i found a red air plant variety.. light red when dry and dark red when watered. =)
I did change it, your the only one to comment on it. Wanted a change... air plants are great are they!
Brad, could you please identify the first Tillandsia you showed (the 1st one you bought)? Thanks.
Love those. How do you grow in Southern California. Dry and sunny area? It rains here and is cold during winter and is dry and hot during summer.
Ooooo! You're a Canadian!!!. Lovely! I live in Quebec. I bought my first air plant today, but I need to find a Canadian supplier. Both for air plants and spanish moss. Can you point me in the right direction?
Great video. I have a Tillandsia madusae. I am seeing varying recommendations on how to water. Some say you need to soak them while others say that misting is enough. What is your strategy?
something i found out. when you soak your air plants do it in aired water. rain water or pond water . tap water good but let it stand for a bit to get rid of chlorine. don't leave the plants in water overnight. they have little pores which open at night to take air in . they look nice with reindeer moss. dry plants upside down after soaking so they won't hold water.
Great info!!! The mic was a little low.
would love to see a new update on these
10.17 ... That's my bday.. yay
Hello Brad I'm new to your channel today. That was a great simple video on Tilansia. I have none right but have been planning to change that very soon. Where is a reliable source to buy on line???
Very nice! Did it have a name tag?
I got some different air plant seeds from Amazon. I found out after receiving pkgs. that they came from Malaysia. I will follow what you do... thanks
I love you.
Hola!!!como se mantiene el clavel del aire???A la sombra o al sol?gracias!!
Around 3:50, you said that you hung your air plants with orchid clips! Could you elaborate more on how this is done?
hey there! hope your day is good. I am in central florida.wondering if you know where I can find these for free if at all possible
I am new to air plants and was wondering if you could answer a question. I bought my first air plant a week or so ago and noticed that a lot of the leaves had brown rotten spots and such so I peeled off the rotten leaves. Now however it is a fraction of its size and was wondering did I kill it? The leaves that are remaining look pretty healthy and it has started producing a pup and was wondering if by getting rid of the rotten brown looking leaves did I damage the pup? Thanks.
What should I put my new air plants on so I can grow them huge? I don't wana glue them really
Hi brad I am having air plant for more than a year but no pups nothing coming. Your Spanish moss suggestion very helpful, please help me with more information for tillandsia how I can grow. Thanks
How can you make your green house moist ? Thx
A greeting from an Indonesian flower farmer, let's share. I also have an air plant. I want to know more about this plant, thank you
Hi Brad,,,, I just bought a couple of these,,, do they need any feed solution??? Thanks...
I put mine in soil a year ago and it got roots
Hi, I have a tillandsia ionantha that is growing a pup, but I noticed that the parent plant is starting to kinda turn a caramel color and the bottom leaves. Would you suggest to not water as much. I mist all my plants twice a week, and the first Saturday of every month, I give them a 20-30 min bath. Thank you:)
krutibandhu sethy my mom got a nice new big air plant. It looks like the one brad was holding in the beginning of the video, it has multiple growth points on the base and they are just as big as the center plant, are they pups and do I separate them?
Hey Brad is there a Tillandsia/airplants Club in Toronto? Especially hybrid and collectors group ?
Hi,all of my plants(50) of them are outdoors under a patio cover. The night time air temp gets down to 50° F. All of the plants are doing well except for the xerographica(2) of them.They have been outdoors for two years with full sun alternating to in-direct light. The leaves are turning light brown & look dried out. All of the plants get watered at the same time and same amount of mist/water. Do you have any suggestions to help get these plants healthy?
Thanks! $7.99 here would be for a bigger size or maybe a rare kind. Are you in Canada?
