Tillandsia care can vary depending on the exact species and the specific conditions of the environment they are in, but here are some general guidelines you can follow:

1. Light:

• Place your Tillandsias in a location with bright but indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, especially in areas with high temperatures, as the leaves can dry out.

2. Temperature:

• Most Tillandsias prefer moderate temperatures, between 15-30°C. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures, whether intense cold or excessive heat.

3. Irrigation:

• Water your Tillandsias regularly, soaking them in water for 20-30 minutes once a week. If the climate is very dry, they may need more frequent watering. Be sure to shake them gently to remove excess water after soaking.

4. Air:

• Tillandsias need good air circulation. After watering, it is important that they dry completely in a place with good ventilation to avoid problems such as rot.

5. Fertilization:

• Although they get nutrients from the air, you can fertilize Tillandsias occasionally. Use a diluted specific fertilizer for bromeliads or epiphytes and apply it during the growing period, generally from spring to fall.

6. Assembly:

• You can mount your Tillandsias on various surfaces, such as wood, stone or cork. Make sure they are secured but not buried, allowing air to circulate around the plants.

7. Monitoring:

• Regularly observe your Tillandsias for signs of disease or problems. Pay attention to the leaves; If they turn yellow or brown, it could indicate a problem with light, water, or ventilation.

Remember that these are general guidelines and there may be variations depending on the species of Tillandsia you have. It is always helpful to do your research and know the specific needs of your plants to provide them with the best possible care.

Watering frequency for Tillandsias can vary depending on factors such as the specific species, environmental conditions, and season of the year. Here are some general guidelines you can follow:

1. Regular watering:

• Generally, it is recommended to soak Tillandsias in water for 20-30 minutes about once a week. This period may vary depending on ambient humidity and temperature. In drier climates, they may need more frequent watering.

2. Seasonal adjustment:

• During spring and summer, when Tillandsias are in their active growth period, they may need more frequent watering. In fall and winter, when growth is slower, you can reduce the frequency of watering.

3. Observation:

• It is important to observe the Tillandsias after watering. After soaking them in water, gently shake them to remove excess water from between the leaves. Then, place them in a place with good air circulation so that they dry completely within a few hours.

4. Adjustment to local conditions:

• Specific conditions in your environment, such as relative air humidity and light intensity, can influence watering frequency. If you live in an area with high humidity, you may need to water less frequently than in a drier climate.

Remember that it is better to under-water rather than over-water, as Tillandsias are susceptible to rot if they remain wet for too long. Monitor the condition of the leaves and adjust the watering frequency as necessary to maintain the health of your Tillandsias.
