Exposure & placement

Tillandsia appreciate bright indirect light and good air circulation. Avoid direct sun in summer which can burn the leaves.

• Exposure: bright indirect light to partial shade, avoid direct sun in summer.
• Ideal: near a bright window, hanging, on a shelf, in an open terrarium, on driftwood or pebbles.
• Temperature: 15 to 25 °C, tolerates moderate variations.
• Air circulation: essential — avoid confined spaces without ventilation.
• Support: no substrate needed — place on shells, pebbles, wood, metal, glass or hang with transparent thread.

Verdeia tip: Tillandsia love bright bathrooms where natural humidity suits them perfectly.

Watering & care

• Watering: regular misting or water bath — Tillandsia absorb water through their leaves.
• Misting: 2-3 times per week with non-calcareous water (rainwater or filtered water ideal).
• Water bath: once every 2 weeks, soak 20-30 minutes in room temperature water.
• Drying: crucial — after misting or bathing, gently shake and let dry upside down in a ventilated place.
• Summer frequency: increase to 3-4 mistings per week when it’s hot.
• Winter frequency: reduce to 1-2 times per week if the air is dry due to heating.
• Fertilizer: optional — once a month in spring-summer with very diluted orchid fertilizer (1/4 dose).
• Cleaning: gently remove dry leaves at the base.

The secret of Tillandsia: good drying after watering! Stagnant water in the heart of the plant can cause it to rot. Always shake after misting and let dry upside down.
