I have grown air plants for at least ten years. Surprisingly, many Tillandsia species are really hardy and these plants enjoy the temperature and the humidity in the greenhouse. I am not careful about spraying these plants in the summer–maybe they get sprayed once a week when I water. They seem fine, though, (and the ones that weren’t fine dried up and disapppeared).

I grabbed a branch from the yard of a rental house sister Cate was occupying. It has been a perfect place to display the airplants. They grow and multiply freely on it and look better and better as time goes by.

These plants have interesting and often beautiful flowers in pinks, magentas, and blues. My future plans are to keep these going on this branch and maybe add a branch or two as they multiply and need to be divided.
