Hello everyone, Here are my first pics, a few weeks old. Not great, but my first attempt: N. glabrata: N. jacquelineae: N. villosa: N. x 'Judith Finn' pitcher lurking A piece of my Highland growchamber: N. ampullaria pitcher (HUGE!!) N. rajah basal rosette: N. rafflesiana...

Well, now that everything seems under control, (no more plants will be dying, i hope), here is the death list, which i am a bit upset bout: Heliamphora minor (my second ever CP! ) utricularia tricolor 3 unknown utrics utricularia livida drosera spatulata drosera filliformis ssp filliformis...

This is a photo of my terrestrial tillandsia in flower. What a beautiful pink bract and 2 purple flowers. http://community.webshots.com/photo/72816147/87278340MzAatJ

Thanks to Tony, I now have some new plants!! The new guys are N. lowii, N. ampullaria, N. gracilis, D. nitidula ssp. nitidula, and VFT 'Pink Venus'. I have a question about the dews: The tray system is ok, right? And since they are flowering that means that to them it is spring, or winter ...

I'm curious if anyone's tried pollinating their Tillandsia? I had some T. recurvata that produced seed last year, and I actually have a small one that grew from those seeds. Now I just want to make more, and get a few crosses. It would be kind of nice to breed a fragrant flowered Tillandsia in...

I have a few too many Tillandsia lindenii plants and would be happy to share. T. lindenii are similar to the well known T. cyanea, but are a bit larger and supposedly a bit more cold tolerant. I divided and potted them last year and they're a good size. I'll ship them by priority mail and, since...

Tillandsia, or as some people call them, bromeliads, air plants, are pretty easy to care for as long as they stay in more than 35-40% humidity. They like a nice misting every few days, and for the most part grow the best in my lowland nep tank. (70*-90*F) I foliar feed them once or twice a...

I bought this guy about 2-3 years ago when it was one plant. It has since split into 3-4 plants. And now, after all these years, it decided to put up 2 flowers. I'm so excited! These flowers are SO much bigger than the T. ionantha flowers. Anybody else grow Tillandsia?

Hi, I have heard some theories and ideas, ect. that tillandsia are carnivorous. Its known that the well in their leafs collect leaves ect. and break them down and absorb them. Now, I would like to hear other peoples view on this. Personally I dont think they are truly carnivorous, but of some...

Hmm, i've been looking at my tillandsias lately and have noticed pups starting to form. Anyone think I should give them 16 hours of light instead of twelve after they've flowered to help the pups develope?

Hey, anyone know what lengths you have to go through to propagate a tillandsia recurvata? I have one that flowered for a day, then exploded seeds the next. I want to see if I can start some off.

I was thinking, you know how when you want a Pineapple Plant to flower you seal it in a bag with a ripe apple. I was thinking this might work with other bromeliads like tillandsia. But then I thought I might try this on my Nepenthes just to see if it would work. I haven't tried it yet and I...

Hello all!!! I just sent an email to troy (fatboy) in bali, so he knows what I have. hehe But for all of you that aren't buddies with troy, here are the plants that I call audrey III and audrey IV respectively. Drum roll please! . . . . . . . TADA!!!!! 2 tillandsia utriculata in flower...

Hello ppl, Just thought that I'd share a few pics of some tillandsia plants that I found on a hill in my grandma's farm. These plants are HUGE!! I think that the biggest one is like 2 feet in diameter, and the inflorece was something like 2.5 feet long; they are by far the largest ones that I...
