Kakteen Gautschi Tillandsia xerografica

Tillandsia xerografica

These beautiful rainforest plants bring an optimal climate to your home!

Tillandsias are extremely adaptable plants and can thrive for several years with the right care. They basically flourish anywhere, but prefer a bright location. Direct sunlight should be avoided, as excessive heat can cause too much moisture to be lost. A good option is a spot in the bathroom, where the humidity is higher. Naturally, warm and humid terrariums are ideal.

The most important aspect of caring for Tillandsias is providing regular water through misting. The goal is to mimic the humid climate of the rainforest with 90% humidity. In summer, the plants should be misted about twice a week, while in winter, it’s better to mist a bit more due to the drier heated air. Under no circumstances should the plant sit in water, as this can cause it to rot. For the same reason, no water should accumulate in the plant.

We wish you lots of enjoyment with Gautschi quality!.
