Tillandsia stricta Air plant Cluster With Decorative 4" Holder.

Must keep moist! Mist daily (misting bottle included!) Soak them (fully submerged) for 30 minutes to an hour, then shake them and allow to almost completely dry before replacing them in their globe or any kind of enclosure, once a week. Water more often in a hot, dry environment; less often in a cool, humid one.

Do not use distilled water or softened water. Filtered water, tap water that has sat long enough for the chlorine to dissipate, bottled water are fine. Pond water, aquarium or rain water are all preferred.

Plants should be given enough light and air circulation to dry in no longer than 4 hours after watering. If the plant dries within a very short period of time, it is not hydrating at all.
Spray misting is insufficient as the sole means of watering but may be beneficial between regular waterings in dry climates to increase the humidity.
If the plant is in a shell, be sure to empty the water out. Tillandsia stricta will not survive in standing water.

Harvested from South Florida.

Can be kept inside or outside. Must be in low light or shade. Direct sunlight may cause sunburn and leave unsightly marks on plants.

Incandescent bulb are not suitable for plants grow lights. Provide 12 hours filtered light per day.

Can withstand 10 to 32C (50-90F) temperatures

These plants use their roots only to anchor upon their host and they rely solely on leaves to absorb water and nutrients.

After the initial introduction into their new home (about a month), have a much better chance of surviving in home condition than a potted plant. These plants are extremely adaptable, require low maintenance and can withstand some time of neglect.
