Tillandsia festucoides
8th July 2008
A new species I am trying this year, rather tall and unstable. I grow most of the Tillandsia standing on a small amount of compost in a small
pot. It allows the roots to establish and helps the plants survive stresses (it's a trick the Americans taught me!). Although they are epiphytic,
they prosper far more if they have a decent root system in a compost that will hold some moisture ( but NEVER enough to get soggy or stay wet
for long).
