TILLANDSIA CARE:(TI-LAND-ZEE-AH) Tillandsia, Air Plants, are tropical Epiphytes, meaning that they naturally grow in the trees, under the canopy in tropical and subtropical regions.  Filtered, bright light is best. Although some varieties grow very well in direct sun, it can also be too strong and quickly burn the leaves of most varieties.  If introduced gradually, certain Tillandsia may be able to tolerate more direct sun, and it may bring out some amazing colors.  Air plants can typically take more direct sun in the winter months, from November to March, as it’s not very strong, but during the summer months, indirect light is best to avoid leaf damage and keep your new Air Plants looking and feeling their best. Being that Tillandsia are tropical and absorb the water and nutrients they require through their leaves, out of the air, it is important to keep your Air Plants hydrated.  We shower all of our Tillandsias about twice a week, with good quality water.  We recommend rain water,
