Watering
Immerse plants in rainwater on average two to three times a week, allowing them to dry off in between. Avoid using tapwater especially in hard water areas as the water contains dissolved sodium bicarbonate which can precipitate out on the trichomes and block them, preventing the Tillandsia from absorbing moisture and nutrients. In higher temperatures and low atmospheric humidity, watering may be required more frequently; less often in cooler, humid conditions.
