I thought Xerographica come from Central American deserts, where it endures droughts, high temps and full Sun?.......yours look amazing!!!, so I think I need to water mine more!
I just ordered my first one! Thank you for showing the difference between how they look when thirsty and not when watering. This was a quick and helpful video for an air plant noob. Your greenhouse is sick btw.
I have mine in TX summer outside, every week I'll give it a little mist and after 2 or 3 weeks I'll soak it ( or when it starts looking 'aged' ) and mine is about to bloom!! When I know rain is coming I won't mist it, because after it rains our climate gets humid enough. My X has been thriving this summer!
These xerographica's are so gorgeous! I just bought 3 more because they look so elegant displayed around the house. Btw I love your greenhouse, it's filled with so many beautiful air plants💕 Thanks for sharing Brad, it's always so great to see you and your beautiful collection of Air plants!🍃🦋 I live in Florida so luckily we have a ton of humidity for these fellas.
I got my wishlist plant xerographica! The humidity is my enemy in the winter with many of my tropicals😑 it doesn't have any roots tho u think they'd grow? I wanted to mount it but dont think that would work
I boutght one 1month ago he loved the rain but now in inside the house. I lost a yonata... but now i have to do the 1st washup indoor. You really helped me.
Hi, I live in South Florida where we have high humidity. I purchased an xerographica air plant and I noticed after a few days it looked very dry and the leaves curled up. I soaked it again after a few days and it looked the same. I'm giving it proper light as well. So I need to water it more often?
Tillandsia are very fun plants to have around, I keep a few near my nepenthes. If you want some more unique looking varieties, bergeri and seleriana are both good choices.
Nice Plants! I got to go to LA this spring to rainforest flora and meet Paul Isley! Not to mention I got tones of tillandsia, quite a few with scented flowers
You will get roots in a dry climate. I grow these in colorado and mine have grown roots on household conditions. The key is, your airplant will only grow roots if it is comfortable. That means no stress, consistent light, and regular watering. Humidity is not needed in my experience.
My airplants also grow roots I hesitate to move them around because they attach themselves to almost anything they can reach and I don't want to damage the roots
Hi there! Thanks for your video. I just bought a xerographia and it had brown tips on some of the leaves already but it seems to be getting worse. As well as a brown bottom. I'm misting like 3 times a week and leaving in an east window with constant fan on. I'm worried that either there is a rot problem issue with dryness. Any ideas?
youre overwatering, its a desert plant. do you shake them off after watering? they also need to dry upside down. the water collects in the leaves and will rot the plant. dry upside down for at least 3 hours.
I live in Florida and I see these everywhere on trees I'm trying to find one online because I don't want to take from the wild so they can be there for other people to see
