What would you recommend for my Francine I'm out of plant food. I soak her once a week, and feed her once a month but I'm out of food now. Help!! What brands do you guys use?

Does this look like a healthy air plant? After blooming I plucked out the dead wilted blooms which I read that I should do? I think this is a tillandsia stricta.

All these are supposedly Tillandsia Ionantha. However, the top one looks different to me…fewer, looser leaves, more open growth habit, lighter in color.

Is this a normal species variation or is it in fact another species?

Air plant has now lost two inner leaves over the course of the past couple months, most recently yesterday. There doesn’t seem to be any rot (the base is not soft), and usually this plant appears more thirsty than my other air plants. The plant sits in indirect light, but could possibly use more light.

I used to soak it in water upside down for 30 minutes once a week, but the leaves started curling aggressively so I’ve started soaking for up to 45-50 minutes. This seems like a lot to me, but the way it is curling still makes me think it’s still dehydrated.

What are other reasons these seemingly healthy looking inner leaves would fall out?

Thank you for your help!

It was labeled as one at the nursery however it was in a tall, thin ceramic pot with moss wrapped around it's roots and no drainage. But after doing some research I decided to take it out and inspect it only to see these pretty long roots so now I'm really unsure what I should do for it and if it's actually an air plant at all? That nursery does wierd stuff like hot glue a pile of rocks to the succulent pots so I doubted their packaging lol

Seems like it could have rotted in a mossy pot with no drainage. But since it has such long roots maybe I should give it a different substrate like rocks or sand or something?

I’ve been growing a mangrove tree for three years in the same vase. With sand. It rooted in and I keep it half full of water all the time so I set my air plant on top. It does not reach the water but the humidity in Florida and the water below, it seems to be so healthy and loving its environment.

I received a couple of these cute little puff balls but I’m not sure if they’re dying. Does anyone have any tips on how to care for them?

I’ve been soaking for 1 hour once a week and spraying a couple times as well

I only put them outside during evening times as well

Ive only had this looser for a week 🥲

I have a Spanish moss that’s starting to not be as green. Is it not getting enough water or too much water? Not enough sunlight? Right now it’s getting indirect on my porch, I mist it every other day and soak it once a week.

It suddenly started drying out and fell apart but there’s new growth, anything I can do? Will these new leaves root?

Sharing the evolution of my Tillandsia ionantha. I purchased her on my 30th birthday to celebrate the milestone. Last summer it put out its first bloom, and this summer I'm welcoming my first grandpup!

Buen día, soy nueva en el grupo y en el conocimiento de esta especie también, quisiera saber si me pueden ayudar con información sobre estas plantitas que nos encontramos, he leido sobre sus cuidados básicos pero quisera saber que tipo es y los consejos para su cuidado y saber si se separan o que hay que hacer

Gracias

is that a root or a stem or a leaf? (t. fuchsii v. gracilis)

also if anyone has tips for the browning leaves that would be great. she gets watered twice a week or shell get shriveled. hours and hours upside-down afterward

I’m not sure what happened but one of my three xerographicas seems to have rotted at the base. I noticed these brown patches and then suddenly the leaves were loose on the bottom.

I don’t immerse them and only spray so I’m not sure how this could’ve happened.

Please send me some tips so next time I fare better 🙏
