I use this stuff for my Tillandsia's. Epiphyte’s Delight fertilizer was developed for a special reason. Nitrogen promotes foliar growth. If you have Tillandsias, Orchids, or other epiphytes and you feed them, take a look at the nitrogen content. If it’s high in urea, the plants can’t use it because the urea needs a bacteria in soil to break it down into ammonia and nitrates. Since the epiphytes don’t have any soil they can’t break down the urea. It was for this reason that we had Epiphyte’s Delight formulated. It contains only ammoniacal and nitrate nitrogen which is immediately accessible and usable by the plants.
The Urban Plant Guy thank you u just answered the question i just asked in the comment above
Hey Brad, thanks for being a resource. As a Green Goddess myself, I have expanded to orchids this past year and all 6 are thriving--even the three Phalys I "rescued" from the scratch and dent at that particular local hardware store (L**es) where some nitwit cut the roots or drenched it in moss! I truly enjoy your videos as the continuously inform me.
Those baby air plants are SOO cute! Thanks for sharing your collection!
Great video.Excellent firsthand experience based advice lucidly presented.Thnx
I'm a new beginner with air plants. I love learning about all kinds of plants. Air plants are probably my favorite now because they are so easy. This video your doing is full info information. Thank you.
brad please make a video on how to pollinate air plants it would be really helpful. Thank you
I love this...Thank you Brad!
Love the information on the air plant
I'm seriously envious of all your different tropicals alll types. I've got to get a greenhouse again.
+JT thanks for the comments, i grow in zone 8b.
ha, that's my zone... what kind of heat do you use in your greenhouse in winter?
+JT just a 1500w ceramic core space heater. I bubble wrap it up in the winter for extra "R" value
i wouldn't have thought something so small, but i guess so long as it's kept above 40 at waist level you'd be ok?
I need facts
Wow! the young tillandsias look very cute! I want to try that too! but first try to get seed! greetings from Belgium
You're a genius. Love your wonderland.
Thank you for this video. I plan on buying some airplants in a few weeks so am glad to see your video.
Beautiful greenhouse, I hope I can grow a space so green one day. Keep up the great work
I love airplants thank you so much for this information
Beautiful
The seedlings are so cute
great collection was happy to see them especially the baby plants let all grow healthy.
Elizabeth Ninan thanks, yes the babies are doing great!
The air plants are beautiful.... Nice collection.....
thanks and very low maintenance
Cool!
Please take us along when you take the plant out of the pot!
Nice collection, Brad, and another great video!!! I always liked any form of propagation on the basis that if I like something, I'd like more of em better! It also makes nice gifts to friends.
Wade Hollenbach exactly! free gifts!
wow nice...these are nice
very cool!
You can also plant your pink quill tillandsia in orchid barks
Great video brad, I have some too but mines are growing slowly lol.
i think roots on air plants feed on bark and ground leaf litter. most of them ive seen in the wild are growing on branches or sides of trees or they are on the ground. cool collection.
Nice
Thank You! My hobby is air plants. Since I'm new to this, its helpful to find your video. Hoping mine bloom this summer. would love to see how you plant the seeds and how long does it take to grow.
hey, love your channel I have quite a collection of Tillandsia 's that are doing really great. however I am nervous for how well they will continue to do over winter. I live in Ct and right now I have them all thru my kitchen, hanging near picture window and on wall , and in terreriums. do you have any advice or info about what I should do to keep them thriving? also please do more videos on airplants....I love it
Brad you have a awesome collection of Tillandsias I love the floral wire idea , Why didn't I think of that before lol I have mine hangin kinda the same way but I like your idea better it displays much better
Thanks, I like the floral wire idea well. They remind me of Christmas ornaments you would hang on the tree!
i agree the idea is easy and useful when you have alot of airplants
Beautiful!! Love the info ,are you keep a good temperature on the green house? On what temperature? ?thanks 👍
Hey Brad nice video. I have my first Flowerstock on one of my plants hope to get some seed pods ;)
Awesome, good luck
Brad can you please do some more Air Plants videos.
Can you show a video on how you got the seeds and also how you pollinate.
Hello Brad I really like your air plant collection and all of the information you have posted on TH-cam, it was very helpful. I recently purchased about 13 different air plant species and I am interested in hybridization of the plants. is there any way you could explain in just a bit more detail the pollination of the plants which you have done? would really appreciate it. thank you Brad's Greenhouse!
You should do a tutorial on how to spread seeds starting from plant flower to the yogurt container how to .
Hey Brad. Thanks for the great video! I'm wondering if I should separate my pups from the main mamma plant to have a bunch more or will that be damaging?
Greate video Brad! Thank you so much! Hope you did´nt forgot your lovely cup of coffee after wards... XD
Great video, Brad. I always learn something...love those baby air plants!
Almost the perfect companion plant to orchids and fairly maintenance free. For the most part, the air plants in my collection reside within the orchid pots and the treatment the orchid gets is the treatment the air plant gets. Never know when they will bloom and once they get going, they are with you for a long long time. Even if you don't have a greenhouse,.they do just fine in my livingroom.
In Montreal, the biggest obstacle is finding a quality supplier of air plants. The hardware store plant sections sometimes sell them at a cheap price, but they can be in rough shape. The best and priciest ones are from the Montreal Botanical Garden Boutique, which sells plants cultivated from their own extensive collection. I'd buy even more and the larger ones too, if only I had the space.
ResQuetzal in Canada I find Hawaiian botanicals is the best online place for them

Thanks.
Thanks for the update! You got me interested in having Tillandsias when I watched your previous videos. I have four one of which is a Tillandsia Crocata which has a flower spike. I was really surprised since I just got it in the spring. Do you try pollinating when the flower first opens or do you wait until the flower is nearing the end of it's blooming? I have my air plants on a bright north window sill in my bedroom. It must be enough light for them if this is blooming. I'd love to watch if you decide to video your taking the one out of the pot and also planting the seeds. Oh heck, I'd love to watch any video you make- they're all great!
the flowers only last a day, so it pollinate when I see them open
I was given two air plants by my neighbor...she got them s a promotional from her company and did not want them. I have been watering them once a week with a through soaking for an hour and they are doing fine. I live in Arizona...can we say DRY! Now I am more diligent with them after watching your vid...LOL...Amazing I have not killed them...can I get Spanish moss that has been in a bag dry for several years to start growing?
i have a greenhouse and live in portland. in the summer it get extremely hot and winters are super rainy. i tested a succulent out in the greenhouse and it dies within the week. what do i do?
my geuss on how to hybridize my air plants through pollination would be to dab brush in pollen of 1 blooming flower to the pollen or steman of another blooming flower. am I correct or close? would really appreciate an answer. thx brad's greenhouse.
I think the one you said was an Eric knoblock is actually a pure species called tillandsia xerographica. I'm not exactly sure though since the green is so pigmented
I'm jealous....beautiful greenhouse!!!
When you propogated the seeds did you put it in live sphagnum or sterile dried sphagnum?
hi Brad, what time of the year is best to repot lithops and do they flower after having babies or when do they flower?
Hi Brad, Sorry if you covered this already but what is the variety of the tillansia clump in the beginning of the video?
I have 1 small bunch of Spanish moss & its almost all dried out. I soaked it for about 2 days & got 1 fuzzy spot from a seed pod. Will that grow into a fresh bunch? How can I propagate?
thanks trying to figgure out how to care for my air plant do you have a fertilizer that you like the best for the air plant ?
My girlfriend bought air plant seeds, I’m a bit septic because they don’t look like air plant seed that I’ve seen in TH-cam. She ordered them from Wish and they are from China.
***** FYI, the Till. at 8:42, Till. "argentea" was recently lumped with the species Till. fuchsii. The formerly known "argentea" became Till. fuchsii var. gracilis. So "argentea" is no longer a species, it just became a different variety of Till. fuchsii. Sorry if that's confusing, of course, that's taxonomy for you, lol.
So nice plants . Where can buy?
do tillandsia die after they flower and seed? I have a few bulbosa ive become attached to and id prefer them not to die, even if they send of side shoots.
What sort of hybrid is the Big ball of Air plant from the start of the video?
Hey Brad! Love your air plant collection :-) where did you buy the Eric Knobloch hybrid? I would be interested in trying to find one for myself!
Alexia Wiatr it was just at a local nursery here in BC
Dear could you advice from where I could buy the flower wires you using t tie and then hang. Whats is the name and if available in home depot, private nursaries or drappery stores. I will apprecate you naming the wires and where I could get. Thanks
Hey!
I'm located in Ontario Canada (GTA) and I'm really interested in starting to grow these - however every store I got to a tiny 2" plant is close to $10 - any suggestions on places to pick these up or get them shipped?
I've started a collection of terrariums - mainly doing tropical plants in closed systems and succulents in open systems but i'm really interested in getting into air plant as well. Hoping to get some direction on where i might be able to get reasonably priced varieties.
Does anyone know of a video explaining self pollinating? Noob to air plants and plants in general. Also is there a video for grafting?
How long does it take for the seed pods to ripen? I have a tillandsia ionantha not sure if it's a Guatamala or not but anyways it's had a seed pod on it for probably close to 2 year now and it still hasn't popped yet. It has 1 pup growing at the base that's nearly the size of the original mother and I'm getting impatient 😂
these both guys are more hardyes than you could think. Here, on the east coast of australia they grow in the garden on the trees with no watering sometimes for few weeks. I observe a huge piese of a spanish moss on a tree in our neighbour's garden, growing too far away from any kind of watering in full sun, its only getting bigger. humidity in winter here is 50-60%, no rain for month. Just moning dew sometimes. 7-25C Temp. range. The tillandsia is growing on the trees with my onsidiums, hardy as well. I water them once a week if its dry.
Awesome! Thanks for the info regarding the temps and rainfall. Good to know!
Great video...now you have me interested in Air Plants!!
I have a question: Tillandsia Ionantha....can you take off the old growths? And in general, how long do you leave the pups on the main plant before planting them separately?
Thanks for ALL of your great videos!!!
And I would love to see how you pot up the pups!
Terry Klemesrud I would leave them on until they are at least half the size of the mother plant, the longer the better
Thanks Brad!
Should you water the air plants in warm water, cold water, or tepid water?
Great video. I just found the first video I saw and ironically your in Canada!! I know nothing about airplants apart from I love them. I just bought a packed of air plant seeds off eBay. They are sooooo expensive where I live in Canada. They are probably not airplants for for $3 it's worth a try!! So the best thing to try and grown them in is moss?
yes, sphagnum moss it the best, good luck!
Hey Brad!
What's the variety of the one you show at 7:30?
It looks beautiful!
Butzzi
I bout a big box of Spanish moss in Amazon for $30 dollars , 5 lbs very healthy, it also came with one air plant.
Monique Solanilla 5lbs! wow! how big is that? bonus air plant, yay!
Is a big box of 18 x 14x14 inch I will say, and is very pack,I used for all my vanda, thank to your advice.
Please show us exactly how you polinate
Hi Brad, I got one of the spiky tillandsia late this summer and I have noticed that it has grown a bit. I would like to know how you get them to divide, or produce babies. Btw, your bobulsas are really pretty.
Jackie Fu it just takes time and they do it themselves
Brad what gauge is that floral wire please? I have a few Tillansias and like that idea!
dollar store gauge :)
how long till the babbys are at a saleable size to sell
the one you couldn't read was a caput medusae
Nice to see air plants, what is the maximum temp which can be tolerated by this plants? My place it reaches 40 degree celcius in summer.
Depends on humidity
2nd airplant is a medusa!
How do you grow roots on TH-cam Tillandsias?
I notice roots on your airplanes, when I bought mine the nurseryman cut the roots OFF, why??
Just a question, but why do you leave the dead/spent flower spikes on the plants instead of pruning them off? I know generally speaking that's the usual practice because it helps redirect the plants energy towards new growth. Maybe this varies for air plants though :)
Bailey Tenerovich because after pollenating them you don’t want to take the dead flowers/stem off. That is where the seeds will grow if you were successful with the pollination. After you can get the seed you can remove the stem or if you didn’t attempt to pollinate the flowers you can remove it.
The one you labeled is Caput Medusae ;) your collection is pretty awesome. I like you enjoy your coffee while taping :)
Do you leave the roots alone that are hanging from your Tillandsia Ionatha?
yes I do
@@BradsGreenhouse Thank you!!
have you ever thought of growing ant plants or lecanopteris ??
I have thought about it, but don't have them on my permit and dont know where to get them in Canada
i get all mine from wistuba there fantastic to grow along side neps and helis and there truly fascinating plants
do ionathas self pollenate?
Charlene Banks I've never seemed to get a seedpod from an ionantha. I have crossed the pollination to other Tillandsia seeds though
How long did it take for them to germinate?
not long, a few weeks
mine die in week!
I wanna see the bycal
keep watching, ill do an update soone
ok, sometimes I need to watch a video twice. You answered my question about when to pollinate in your video. sorry
haha, know worries
Hey I seen your video and was wondering if you could help me I have a tank I'm setting up for my lizard and was wondering if you could help me it is a desert animal the temp. Is about 90-100 I was wondering if you could help me on what live plants I could use to make it look like a real piece of the desert please help me :) the measurements of the tank are 48w 13deep and 24 inches high so nothing to huge please get back to me it would mean the world
Danny Doty Hi, unfortanatly, I don't grow any desert plants at all. everything I grow loves it warm and humid
You never shower us how to… cool plants but you didn’t show us how….
brad please make a video on how to pollinate air plants it would be really helpful. Thank you
