How to water Tillandsia

Tillandsia needs water. Although it can grow for a long time in a dry environment, it is only to survive in such an environment. If the drought lasts for a long time, Tillandsia will die. When watering the Tillandsia, you need to ensure that it is completely dry before the next watering. This requires sufficient sunlight and good ventilation conditions. It is best to water it in the morning so that the Tillandsia can be completely dry at night.

You can judge whether watering is needed by looking at the leaves. After watering, the leaves will be firm and upright. When they need water, they become soft and bright in color. If the leaves shrink or curl, it means the plant is dehydrated.

Watering Schedule

Tillandsia needs to be watered frequently, at least 2 to 3 times a week. Spraying cannot meet its needs. They need to be sprayed with water. It is necessary to ensure that they are supplied with soaking water at least twice a week. The most effective way is to soak the Tillandsia in a pot or bucket. Or use a hose to completely wet the Tillandsia. It is best to soak the Tillandsia in water once every 1 to 2 weeks (if there are flower buds, soak them for a few seconds without damaging the petals. If the owner is away for a period of time, give them plenty of water in advance.)
