I have air plants for 10 years now. Some died. Some are thriving. I soak them in bowl for 8 hours, letting them dry on dish drying mat and hang them back on branches of decorative manzanita tree, free of any mount. Most of the plants can tolerate low humidity, they like to be dry for some period of time. I will soak air plants when they are curly, and they may dry slowly, like for a month, particularly xerographica.
I don't have any on mounts either. They are all thrown together in a hanging wire basket. I've been lazy recently and only dunk them once every 2 weeks or so - they are clearly stressed and the recently flowered ones aren't happy, but they seem to be surviving. Mine are definitely happier dunked 2x a week (4X more often than I'm doing it right now).... The ones I think are xerographica I try not to get the center wet. The large one only gets second hand dripping.
Yes, that's quite a wild tillandsia! I once had a bit and it didn't last long. My area is low humidity so it probably hated that. Quite a contrast to Florida....

I mix 1:4 aquarium water and distilled water with good results.
Funny, have been looking at keeping fish again.... But in the meantime the fertilizer + distilled water is amazing.
