Katjh: I've been swinging to and buying more of the Tillandsias myself the past couple of years. I used to have over 70 houseplants to tend to (Down to about 20 now) but as they showed signs of pests when I brought them inside from their Summer vacations outdoors I just got rid of them instead of the spraying and the killing of whatever finds them outdoors....Mites, white fly, thrips, cottony white whatever they're called. Been there done that way to many times to keep them in the family but do not want to be doing the pesticide thing a-ny-more!
I've NEVER had anything take over any of my Tillandsias. They're virtually pest free! They've colorful foliage and blossoms and even bear pups every now and then. Some are tucked into driftwood, some reside on sponges, some just hang. I love them. https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C....0.TgEC-r1LQW4

I love the look of Tillandsias! I don't have any. Yet. But I've looked at them many times. Maybe because we don't sell them at the store where I work. Many of my houseplants follow me home from work.

I really like those but got rid of mine when I nearly lost an eye bending over to pick something up off the floor where one set. They are very rigid and do not bend. They definitely jab so out it went

I bought three Tillandsias at a reptile show held in Kalamazoo this weekend. Quite the trip for us but it was a nice little outing spending time with family on that side of Michigan. One booth sold live plants for terrariums and critter set ups. I so wanted a huge ponytail palm but didn't want to be hauling that in and out of motels so passed. The tillandsias they fit into a couple plastic cups stuffed into my camera case. The guy I used to buy from here passed away

I also got rid of an Agave that nearly put my eye out a few years ago. This new Mangave is supposed to have less spikey spikes. We shall see. We get our first delivery in late April.
