tillandsia

For awhile my air plants have been going brown at the tips, so I tried soaking them for longer. However, now one is getting brown spots on the leaves and it looks like the side of some of the leaves are deteriorating. Another one is becoming discolored (a black/purple color) on the side of some...

Hello all. I'm new here. About 10 months ago I received as a gift a tillandsia aeranthos attached to a ceramic skull. I watered it every week or so, with hard water, overnight anywhere from 1-3 days depending on if I would remember to pull it out. It has also been in my kitchen the entire...

I took a trip to a nearby nursery today and found several tillandsia forming flower stalks :-O I took one home of course. Hopefully the flower will produce seed. What is the best way to pollinate tillandsia flowers and germinate their seeds?

1) Opening bid amount $10.00. 2) You will get a 7 x 5 x 14 box full of Spanish Moss (Tillandsia usneoides) from a cemetery of my choice. These air-plants will be fresh picked from trees growing over the graves of Savannah, GA (31401). Because it is being picked from the trees (instead of the...

Up for auction are two pods worth of recently harvested Tillandsia setacea seeds. I have never tried germinating them myself so some research or experimentation on the buyer's part will be necessary. (Hopefully with a follow up as to what worked for them. :) ) Seeds will be mailed in a...

I often see bunches of Tillandsia for sale in stores and online. They are often mixed varieties and it got me thinking . . . where do all these tillandsia plants come from? Are these plants plucked from the wild, or there "air plant" farms that grow a variety of species?

Hi all, Looking for some dewy pine seeds to start, and also for a drosera adelae plant. Can pay, but more interested in trading. No CPs for trade at the moment, but I have various tropicals and tillandsia if interested. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey, terraforums. I want to mount a small bromeliad to some cork bark and add it to my gecko terrarium. Are they safe for crested geckos? Can bromeliads handle distilled water? I know that tillandsia can't take distilled water. Would a mounted bromeliad be ok being sprayed with distilled water...

My name is Morgane, I'm 23 and I started growing carnivorous (and other) plants since last August. I already liked plants before, but the fact that I lived in a north oriented student room with a tiny window kept me from growing anything else than a bonsai. Now I live in a south-west oriented...

I have a good size tillandsia Xerographica available to trade. I know it's not carnivorous but I have a few and don't have need/room for more. Of the two I have available one is 10"-11" the other slightly larger. Looking for anything carnivorous. Pm me for pics. These can get 2'-2.5' when in...

I have a couple Tillandsia I'd like to rehome. They do well enough for me, but other than the cyanea they haven't bloomed. Here's what I have: 1. T. cyanea - large pup, should bloom in the spring 2. T. ionantha - cluster of 3 crowns 3. T. velutina 4. Noid, medium plant with very narrow leaves...

Sadly, I must dispose of about a dozen Nepenthes hybrid seedlings that I do not have the room to grow out. Before doing so, I wanted to see if anyone would like to trade for Sarracenia or Tillandsia. The seedlings are N. splendiana crossed with this Song of Melancholy and this other SoM clone...

I just bought some air plants for the first time and have been having a lot of trouble determining how often I should water them. It seems like every air plant store has completely different guidelines for how often to submerge them, from once a week to once a month, how often to mist them, and...

I am trying to locate Airtiller he was a Mod in a Tillandsia forum. He is an expert with Tillandsia. As far as I know he lives in the USA Keith :wave:

Thought you guys might find this interesting. Went to a nursery in Albuquerque today and after I struck up a conversation about CPs he took me in the back to show me this: It's by far the biggest one I've ever seen, and the guy told me it was over 50 years old, and other than occasionally...

Hey folks! I just got some really gorgeous Tillandsia butzii and caput-medusae with an armored scale thrown in at no extra charge! I'm no entomologist, but from a quick look on the internet and in Garden Insects of North America they seem to be Diapsis echinocactus, or Cactus scale. I have...
