You all should come to Trinidad. We've got them like crazy and its so common that we don't even acknowledge it. We just refer to them as "wild pine". You can see them on electricity poles/wires, fences, mango trees...the list goes on. The variety is crazy
Air plants are the only thing I can keep alive! I love them. I love how light they are, just got a very minimalist brass ring holder for them. Very rental friendly :)
Sorry, I just laugh when you say it's the only species survive with your care. 😂 I've never heard it before but today, I just saw it in Wikihow and I became interested with it too.
I have a hard time keeping them alive, its a pain to water since i only have one so i just mist it. Its hard for me to tell when to mist though, often i overwater or i forget about the plant and underwater.
This is my first year with my airplants and I’m hoping I get them through the winter okay, I put mine in the fish tank once a week. I get mixed messages some dip in water and shake them some leave them in water for an hour. But can’t find anything on overwintering them. Wish I had a greenhouse
Onde eu moro é comum que as Tlandsias se desenvolvam. Nascem em muros, cercas, portoes. Nos dias de vento forte caem no chão. Eu adoro vê-las e perceber como tem cores diferentes. As sementes voando para encontrar um local propicio para se fixar também é um espetáculo!
How are there enough nutrients in the air? Houseplants need to be repotted about once a year in fresh (nutrient rich) soil and/or fed plant food nutrients regularly. So confused about this!
Great information! But I think you have confused evolution with adaptation. One definition of Evolution is describing the aging process of something. But you are talking about how a species adapts to its surroundings over time. So please stick to the proper definition! The reason I say this is because most people don’t understand that there is more than one definition of “Evolution”! They may confuse the aging definition with the “origin of all things”! Of course, those of us who study logic don’t believe the scientific impossibility that nothing created everything!
I thought she was laughing because of how small the plant is, yeah you can fit it anywhere. She also laughed that the plant can go a while without water. She's adorable
I know the RU-vid comments section isn’t the typical place to ask for plant advice, but I’m asking nonetheless. I bought a wispy tillandsia caerulea recently and I need some watering advice. All the places that I’ve looked up so far says dunking or misting works. Which one is more effective though?
It also may have to do with the fact that if i wanted Traditional media outlets, ID BUY A FECKIN MAGAZINE. Rechewed crap like this this is not why I come to youtube. Miss my Original Content Creators, but theyve driven a lot of them off platform to Patreon.
Air plants, like any plants, need NPK to grow, so yes, you can use a (very small) dose of fertilizer on them. They're really easy to over-fertilize though. Also, they need epiphyte-specific fertilizer - Something like Miracle Gro has its nitrogen in a form that relies on bacteria in the soil to make it accessible to the plant, but obviously air plants don't have soil bacteria fixing the nitrogen for them.
Very artistic display devices, but disappointing that, despite the title that made me watch, it only tells how they get water, not nutrients. So: do they rely on fly and bird sh*t? I guess they must!
Momma bear, why so offended? If you know she's not talking about you what difference does it make? Why do you feel the need to advertise to the world that you're not a stereotypical millennial? Which ironically makes you a stereotypical millennial 🤣
