Hello Neighbor I was looking for good tips on how to care for Tillandsia air plant, I was surprise to stumble on to your channel!! how cool now I know where to go for more tips
You are so very lucky to have a major plant company near you. I'm in Fl. and we just don't have good succulents to choose from. The selection at Lowes and Home Depot is lacking so much. I asked when a new shipment would be coming in and the manager of that department said 2 or 3 weeks. So, what does that tell you? I have to order everything from the internet and almost everything comes from Ca. You can just imagine what the S&H cost is. I think I may move to the west. Have a great day. Jesse
I water mine for 20 to 30 maybe 40 minutes a week misting in-between. I have over soaked running errands. Following few days a little less then half was rotted. I cut the rotted parts off. Left on the balcony a day or so to attempt to dry it out. Was successful. But was a pain in the ass. A week or so. I still have it. I learned my lesson just say will not do that again
It's interesting you mentioned about nutritional air from garbage can. Is it really containing some nutrition in air around garbage or ripening fruits?
Very wrong advice on watering. Never use tap water on Tillandsias. It might seriously hurt them. Use spring or rain water. I use bottled spring water, and mine grow like crazy. Sort of doubtful about 12 hour soaking, too. They can actually rot from over-soaking. I soak mine for half hour every week, fully submerging them. Although when they bloom, I only submerge their "butts", as putting water on the flower will likely make it to fall off. They need fertilizing, too. I usually do it once a month, using a special epiphytes fertilizer (mine is called "Epiphyte's Delight"). I don't think he mentions drying them out before putting back into a terrarium. Putting soaking wet Tillandsias into a terrarium can also cause rotting. I just leave mine on a counter top for an hour or so.
+Anna Gray You completely misunderstood the guy..he said tap water that has been resting for 12 hours. And use rain water to really pamper them up. He said what you're saying in this comment lol.
Anna Gray Thanks for clarifying on using only Spring water. The guy I bought one from didn't specify on that part. He gave me some powder fertilizer and instructed to mix half with water in spray bottle. The fertilizer is a one year supply. I have to find out where to get more when it runs out.
I found that you can buy some at West Elm online! If you google "hanging glass planter" you can see places to buy vented glass containers. Sellers on etsy.com also sell some!
Epiphytes do not take their nutrients from the air! They take them from bird poop (usually). For a plant to take nutrients (such as nitrogen), the latter has to be oxidized; a plant can take NO3 or NO2, but not N2 (nitrogen gas). I know the numbers on the formulae should be small, but IDK how to do that on youtube.
Awesome show and I absolutely love these guys! I have posted a few things about them on my FB page. I also made some Xmas with these guys glued in shells! I have a kitchen corner window where I have them attached to coral, shells and other things. I can't find those great vented hanger here though. Do you have a place where I can get them shipped at a good price? Talk with you soon.
Can you put the tillandsia just dropped down in a terrarium with plants? I am going to set up my just like yours its beautiful.......Oh I am going to use fishing line on mine to hang up.
You can get the same exact terrariums for a $1.25 at the dollar tree. So don’t go wherever he said and spend five or eight dollars, just go to your local dollar tree!
Wow, dude really jst whippd out a hypodrmc needle. Im pretty darn sure i wasnt seeing things. For real though, its a shame ppl jst discard hazardous junk like that wherever, regardless of a trashcan more than likely being w/in eyesight.
And, surprise surprise! it's not a terrarium. Here's the definition of Terrarium so you don't call me and idiot "A terrarium is a sealed transparent globe or similar container in which plants are grown. "SEALED" damnit."
That's why you don't build a terrarium with plants like that, you're supposed to use plants like tree moss and seeds. It will produce enough air for everyone.
emmaisweird For some reason I thought an object cannot be called terrarium if it does not match the definition. Then why do we even have definitions, they seem useless.
definitions are great for giving a general idea of what something is.but it isn't owes accurate do to the fact there are exceptions to things and if the word hasn't been updated in awhile there can be quite some confusion.
This is so easy and a perfect gift for plant lover's who thumbs are not so green and as a creative and learning project for my granddaughter.
First, I saw a Marimo moss ball video, now this... it's easy to get hooked!
Dude east coast here, thank you so much for this! You have revitalized my love for LA!!
Awesome video, Tillandsia are so fun. We had a few for a terrarium class we hosted a few weeks back, and they were so fun.
I love the sound of this word "Tillandsia", so exotic to me my ears.
Thank you, it is quite helpful for my new addition as faraway present from my coworker. Now I know how to take care of it

"Plant assassin's" love that description.
What a great video! i want to try this now :)

Great video thank you 🙏
It’s beautiful
Really interesting and helpful. Thank you.
amazing. I Love this plant.
Shows how simply it is to make a simple living gift. Not sure 12hrs soaking is correct though. I do a make of 12hrs, but that's Australian Air Plants!
Such a cute video! 😄

Anna Gray Tap water that has been aged is fine, but direct tap water can burn them as it will have chlorine in it.
Anna Gray I agree, they do need some fertilzing.

Anna Gray A big TY on your correct advise. Rain water from Ca not gonna happen haha. I live in Cali & rain doesn't happen enough. :D
How do you care for the moss
AMAZING 💖 💖 💖 🌾🌸🌾
thanks for sharing. can we spray some water with a water bottle to the plant?
thank you so much for an educational video! I didn't know there are such plants that exist growing without dirt. it's just " WOW " ya..hehehe
I like the twine rope the best.
Superb!

I"m gonna get some tomorrow.
"Nutritional air from my garbage can." Lmao & sub'd
This was so helpful! Thank you!
I love your video, very educative for plants lover like me. I grew up around the big plant in the back, can you tell me the name of the plant.
I wonder what the ethylene in that "nutritional air" would do to the tillandsias.
Where do I find that CLEAR BEADED WIRE ?? Does anyone know ?
I love it!!!
Can we use sand or pebbles at the base of the terrarium?
Love this !
Nice!
great video..thank you!
Oiiiiiiiiiiii. Muito lindo seu trabalho. Abrac. ...Brasil
Do air plants need a vent in the front? Or can it go in a glass ball with the top open? Or is that not enough ventilation?
He did say sitting tap water. I guess they have to be put in a place where there is no wind so they don't knock against the wall and each other.

What are the names of those moss? Great videos thanks
Thanks for sharing this.
(You look a like Hugh Jackman when you smile :).)
I have one of these, I have managed to keep it alive for quite a few years, but what does it need to bloom again?
if I use sand from the beach will it kill the air plant? freshwater beach not salt.
How long do you put them in the water hn? Thx
I have four different air plants and I love them!! But I can't find big orbs like yours!! Only small ones :(
Is there a video with paul???
ugh. I keep waiting and watching these videos to see how they hang them on the wall! tell me!!
+Alondra Higuera omg, same, none of the videos show how they actually hang them and what they use!!!
+Alondra Higuera Use an eye screw or other screw-on hook. Those are hanging from the ceiling.
what would i use to hang one from a wall?
Same thing?
Lauren Baker fishing string would work

So even plant pots are terrariums?
