Tillandsia House Air Plants Lichens

[kg5]

Have broken down this Tillandsia ionantha cristate clump(image above) into 4 nice size clumps and all goes well with them showing good signs of growth.

When I broke this clump up the 2 smaller clump lost a lot of leaves and I thought I had destroyed them but new growth has come out of the middle of these clumps to my great relief. It all seems to be back to front. It looks like the puping takes place from the middle of this plant.

It was very hard to discern where the puping had taken place but feel I have nailed it instead of destroying them.

Next time I brake up one of these clumps I will use a razer sharp knife to do the work. Lesson learnt!

Very interesting Tillandsia!

had a hard time with them until I got the light and learned not to soak them they do better with one dip a week and daily misting once or twice.

WoW!! Impressive collection! I only have a very small number (around 20). I do soak mine for around 15 minutes, in a large container every 4 days (in winter-less in summer) and rarely mist them. Many of them are in glass globes, and to go around, take them out the globe, mist them, let them dry, then go and put them back is more time than I have. Hence the real reason I don't mist, I soak. What you have look fantastic!!
