The care secret that transformed my Tillandsia Andreana

I'd had Tillandsia Andreana for about eight months with acceptable but unremarkable results. Then I started really paying attention to soaking in water for 20 to 30 minutes once or twice a week and the difference over the next two months was dramatic.

extraordinary architectural forms from spiralling to globe-shaped became much more pronounced. The plant in a glass globe or terrarium with open ventilation now looks like a completely different specimen. most vigorous growth in warm humid summer months confirmed that I'd finally unlocked what this plant can do. base rot from water not drying within four hours of soaking has been less of a problem since I got the overall conditions right. If your Tillandsia Andreana is underwhelming, look at soaking in water for 20 to 30 minutes once or twice a week first.
