Tillandsia Schiedeana, Air Plant – Care
Tillandsia Schiedeana Air plant characterized itself with its yellow tubular flower which is uncommon in tillandsia. It is a hardy tillandsia which grows prolific and clump easily. Leaves are silvery or pale green due to the thick trichomes. Tillandsia schiedeana, also known as the “spider air plant,” is a unique and relatively easy-to-care-for air plant. Here’s a guide to help you keep yours thriving:
Light:
- Tillandsia air plant prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, especially during the hottest parts of the day, as it can scorch the leaves.
- A spot near a window with filtered sunlight or under artificial grow lights is ideal.
Watering:
- Soaking: The most common method is to soak the plant in room temperature water for 15-20 minutes once a week. Make sure the plant is completely submerged.
- Misting: In between soakings, you can mist the plant with water 2-3 times a week, especially if the air is dry.
- Drying: After watering, gently shake off any excess water and allow the plant to dry completely. It’s crucial to ensure the plant dries within a few hours to prevent rot.

Air Circulation:
- Good air circulation is essential for Tillandsia air plant. It helps the plant dry quickly after watering and prevents fungal diseases.
- Avoid placing the plant in enclosed spaces with poor ventilation.
Temperature:
- Tillandsia air plant prefers temperatures between 60-80°F (15-27°C).
- It is not frost-tolerant and should be protected from freezing temperatures.
Mounting:
- Tillandsia air plant can be mounted on various surfaces, such as wood, cork bark, or rocks, using glue, wire, or fishing line.
- Make sure the material you use is not water-retaining, as this can lead to rot.
Fertilizing:
- You can fertilize your Tillandsia occasionally during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted air plant fertilizer.
- Avoid over-fertilizing, as it can harm the plant.

Additional Tips:
- Tillandsia is a relatively slow-growing plant.
- It produces small, pale blue flowers.
- It can propagate by producing offsets, or “pups,” which can be separated from the mother plant once they are about one-third to half the size.
With proper care, your Tillandsia will reward you with its unique appearance and delicate blooms.
