Poor Phyllis

[Phal grower]

My friend was washing windows around the house and decided to use my plant misting bottle. I saw this and thought it was fine. What I didn't know was that she mixed vinegar in it. Now, a couple days later, I'm smelling vinegar everytime I mist and wondering what that smell is. I finally narrowed it down to Phyllis, my tillandsia xerographica, named after Phyllis Diller for her wild hair style. After I told my friend that "Phyllis is stinking" she remembered that she had forgotten all about the vinegar.So hopefully Phyllis will suffer no long term damage.

Matt...no worries:

To remove mineral deposits from leaves, wash gently with a cloth dipped in a slightly acidic solution (vinegar or lemon juice mixed with water--about 1 T/gal). May require more than one "treatment." AOS Bulletin 6/93: 633

ask your friend how much percent solution of vinegar per water she used...

if it was pure vinegar: just flush the whole plant with water until you feel theres no more vinegar

Phyllis is gonna freak out but shell survive...
