Should I be treating this one any different now that she’s bloomed? Isn’t she a stunner!
Just got this unlabelled plant. It looks similar to my tillandsia novakii and just generally gives me tillandsia vibes.
Does anyone know if it is a tillandsia sp, just potted in soil? Regardless I love it !
I just got a box of Spanish moss for super cheap, looking for rehabilitation advice! Aside from soaking (in distilled water) and letting it fully dry, any recommendations on how to wrangle this box and sort through whats dead vs alive? Should i just trim off whats brown after the first soak? Right now im soaking half and waiting on the other half.
I’ve been growing this indoors with sunlight and LED, misting twice a day.
It’s been about a month since the inflorescence appeared.
Do you think it’s close to blooming?
Edit: Thanks for being excited with me, guys! This was so wholesome and I'm so glad I posted. :)
Thought this was so cool! Found in Jacksonville, FL.
I started giving liquid fertilizer in January, and it bloomed in early April.
Now it’s producing its first pup.
Didn’t expect this result, so I’m really happy with it.
Curious if feeding played a big role here.
I bought a Airplant online months back and its got these babies growing on it. I can see some smaller ones comeing in that arent pictured. Should I leave them and just continue caring for it like I have been? What should I do as they get bigger? Is the momma air plant going to die?
One of my Spanish moss clumps has gone full throttle blooming, didn't even notice it at first.
It's called Fuego/Fire for a reason, I suppose.
I got it a while ago but didn’t really have much info, tbh I don’t really think it’s an air plant bc the texture is really different from all other tillandsias I’ve seen, but everything seems to point towards that it is one. So I would really appreciate any info anyone can give me.
Seems like an unusual blush pattern to me, possibly, and I have four others in the same area that don't have this pattern, so not sure what this lil homie has going on. Kind of looks like sunburn, but it's not.
Looking for ideas on how you guys hang your air plants. I figured a fishing line would be one but I didn't know if there were any other options to hang them... I will be hanging from a curtain rod.
I want to know if this stuff will work for the back spotting on my xero and won't hurt it.
I would love any and ALL info anyone has on this stuff and using fungicide on airplants
i did
any help with ID on pic 3 would be appreciated! can never tell which of the 500 ionanthas they are lmao
finally grabbed a sumo white and hawaiian lavender, aph is always the best to work with!!
part of me wishes the sumo wasn't flowering but it's gorgeous! (i had hopes to grow one out to a larger size, but it's okay)!
I noticed these little bubble things on a couple of my pothos leaves when I was watering it today. I shook the leaf to make sure it wasn’t weird water droplets. My plant has been otherwise healthy. I noticed a cricket looking big in the pot several days ago and safely removed it. Wondering if it’s the bug’s eggs? What do I do to protect my plant and what can I do to prevent in the future? Any help would be appreciated!
