Temperatures ranging from 10°C to 30°C on average .
Water with rainwater or demineralized water . You can either soak the Tillandsia for a few seconds in water or spray it on the foliage .
In winter, watering every two days is sufficient. In summer, and generally when the air is hot and dry, spraying should be done 1 to 2 times a day.
Plants should dry out between waterings . Water once a week, ensuring that the plant dries out quickly.
