My wall of Air Plants

Post by mikethecactusguy »

Not Cactus or Succulants, I know but it is nice to look at

That looks great! Curious if you know what species it is. Also wondering what kind of light it gets and how often you water it. I live in west LA and am curious about putting my Tilsandia outside

That looks very nice, what a clever idea to display them in a wall! They look so healthy and happy too. Love the flower spikes. I have a few too, but they're in a shell instead. And indoors.

Hi Shane
I'm in Benedict Canyon myself.

The plants get filtered light through out the day. Currently they get a few hours of afternoon direct sun from the left side. I'll need to shield them with some shade cloth as the sun gets hotter. We mist them once a week with the hose.

If you are into airplants. In Hawthorn on Hawthorn Blvd is Rainforest Flora. Incredible Dealer and grower. The largest I believe in the US. They had a second farm in San Diego that burned down in last years fires. My daughter and I went there last month and had the pleasure of a private tour from the owner.

Thanks for the suggestion. I finally made it out there yesterday. Incredible place. Never seen so many types of airplants. Would highly reccomend to anyone who's in the area
