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.
tillandsia aeranthos
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.
