Back to the Tillandsia that grows high up into the mountains at very high altitudes.
We had some very rare times of dry heat here for a couple of days over a couple of weeks in summer this year.
Believe many mature clumps basically died across all the varieties we are growing here. At the time it was obvious these plants suffocated and died very quickly. 1st time this has happened to me here.
The fire that came very close to our Tillandsia killed so many plants so quickly. It was truly shocking.
I treasure all info that comes my way. estacion seca's info about issues with high altitude Tillandsia not been able to survive in hotter summers has been a total treasure to me. It has stopped me from buying and trying to grow many Tillandsia from high altitudes. If a plant is referred to as high altitudes plant that will grow in my environment. I need to find info that says they will grow here before I buy them.
This issue is very interest part to growing Tillandsia. The journey continues.
