I have two freshwater aquariums and I change out water twice a week. I fill a spray bottle with the water to spray my tillansias, and also hold the water aside in a tank for soaking the tillies. I've been doing this since Sept 2012 and as far as I can tell, the plants like it. If you don't have a freshwater aquarium, maybe you could use a very, very diluted fish emulsion, available in garden sections of many stores; just read the ingredients first. I suggest diluting a lot because I don't have many fish and the plants in the aquariums also use a lot of what the fish and snails, um, discard.

Thanks Gonzer.Wow,what a wide range this plant has,Mexico to actually growing on the stonework of Machu Pichu(Cuzco,almost the same)At that altitude no wonder Haywards a picnic.

Right forgot to put the names! Ionantha Scaposa 2x Ionantha rubra Tricolor melanocrater karwinskiana Juncea Ionantha Leonamiana or oxycana... Still too small to tell. Would three hours be enough? They are In between the fronds of my Majesty Palm and are in a southern exposure. They get dappled direct light (through the fronds) for maybe an hour or two a day and then bright indirect the rest if the time.

I have not been able to ID two of my Tillandsias (likely of the same species). I believe they are xeric ones, but that's as far as I've gotten as to what they are called. Could someone help me ID them? If anyone has advice on how to take care of them indoors, I would be grateful to learn about the method from you! Thank you! P.S. I still have other Tillandsias that need ID. If people could ID these, I'll post photos of other ones for you to ID as well.
