When you shared info about the temp on some of these 1,000m to 3,000m + mountains where this or that Tillandsia comes from made me think along those lines always.
Have been very happy to follow this on line Tillandsia catalogue called" A resource by Lloyd Godman" And it has been good to me when checking it this or that plant suits my climate.
With this plant it is written up with this info from Lloyd Godman"Cultivation: It is an easy plant to grow when it has good air movement and moderate to bright light. Responds to light
misting, but needs to dry out between waterings.
So with that info I just purchsed 3 only to see if they like their new home. Other referance talk about how simialar they are to T. tectorums
Again info comes from Lloyd Godman.
"Cultivation: Tectorums get by with just the barest of moisture in nature. The reason they are so heavily scaled (white trichomes) is because they grow at such a high and dry altitudes. This covering protects against extreme ultra-violet light (we're talking HIGH up!) and picks up what little condensation from fog they can. For this reason they can go weeks, months, without a good dose of water."
With this info I will not purchase these plants. But there is someone that lives very close by and they sell this plant. That is all I know about them and I do not know how they grow their plants.
