  • Oh WOW AWESOME video Nina :-D I absolutely LOVE Tillandsia Air Plants, and this is a really INCREDIBLE care video on these amazing plants, I have quite a few Tillandsias in my bathroom and kitchen, they really are wonderful and unique plants to grow, and out of all the Tillandsia vids I have watched this video is THE BEST and most informative I have ever seen on You Tube, thank you so much Nina for sharing this amazing video on caring for Tillandsias, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to Spain for a wonderful evening and weekend ahead XXXX <3
  • There is one thing about Tillandsias that really sets them apart from other houseplants: Random piece of wood + Tillandsia + Time = a gracefull "in situ" looking display without any effort, even in non ideal conditions. Trying to achieve the same result with an orchid would require a greenhouse with significantly more care.

    Hi Nina! Thank goodness I have only three accidental tillies….that is enough. Of all the old dried up maintenance you do 🤪 but your babies obviously love it. And they can get scale? Omg! 🤬 Go git em! You have a great Sunday! ❤
  • @annavoeggia816
    Great video. What a cool variety of air plants! They look so nice and big. I hope one day my tectorum can look as nice. 😊
  • 🦒👏❤️💐 I had no idea Tillandsias can be attacked by scale 😮 You have some very beautiful ones!!! I am guilty of forgetting to water mine, most of the time, fortunately they are very forgiving 😅
  • @juliashearer7842
    I LOVE your air plants! Beautiful displays and very inspiring. I just bought a few teeny tiny ones today. The first I have had. 🙂
  • @cherylpenn4509
    ohgreat. Have had these blooming, but had no idea about no water on them then....... I'll fix em up. Thanks so much.
  • @denisesase
    Nice plants! You have a talent for arranging them beautifully 😍
  • I would not have expected them to be attractive to scale. Those things are just a scourge, the pest I hate the most.
  • I have some on a mount and water them, but mines always die!!!! One only has survived on my mount sheesh 🙄. I have Spanish moss and water it as well, but they die! I am a bad airport mommy! I did not know we have to trim them…. Well, mines don’t last to even do that lol 😮😢😊. Hi Nina!!!! 😃🌷🌷🌷
