Now that I have more experience with growing Tillandsia's and knowing for a fact that the Tillandsia import ban into Australia has no end in sight makes the decision to add 50% more shelving to Tillandsia House upper most in my mind. The timber ordered materials are due to arrived very soon. Still have shade cloth and aged gal wire netting on hand as left overs from the original project that will finish this extension.
The extra shelving with increase better growing areas for the very different growing needs for the many Tillandsia's that are being growing on.
The top rated Tillandsia's for growing on is the small form funckiana and equal top place is ionantha mexicana. Two extremely vigorous grower here. Next group is bergeri, caulescens, cotton candy, houston, mallemonti, ionantha ionantha, paleacea small form, plagiotropica, stricta, stricta amethyst, tenufolia emerald forest, tricholepsis and the last group has many in it but getting numbers is hard thing to do but I will mention one that I very much like and am really hoping the 20 plants will give me some numbers in time is Tillandsia crocata a lovely little silvery plant with yellow flowers that are highly fragrant with a cinnamon scent.
