Collecting Tillandsia's Male
Default Collecting Tillandsia's

As the dust is settling after a huge amount of research & it is still going on and considering how much space with low levels of sunlight we have.
Most of the space having only an hour of very filtered sunlight at best. Being not happy with the artificial light options in our sub-tropical coastal, bay island, climate.

The term air plant or tillandsia describes better what sort of plants I am how collecting. No soil type media plant to grow in is my criteria. Plants who's root systems float around in mid air or attach to a piece of wood or decorative item.

Miniature orchids come to mind.

Any orchid recommendations to add to the collection would be very much appreciated?

One area 5m x 6m x 2.4m high has 3 sets of stack shelving with 4 x 1m x 6m shelving stacks coming up to start with.

Have a thick, small mesh fish net that does not perish to make hanging walls for the attached tillandsia's to hang onto.

Have figured out how to import bare rooted plants which I still have a headache from because its in mostly legal terms and expressions with very little reality to it all. With contact people who have had a gut full of people finding out the cost of importing a couple of plants and stonewall you out of total frustration that started years ago.

All is not lost for the cattleya's and friends as they will have a 15m x 1.2m shelf and pot hanging room above that shelf area.

What I have been through to get to this point......but it still is very exciting......
