How often should I water the Tillandsia?

Generally, when caring for Tillandsia in spring and autumn, you should water it about once a week. In summer, it is best to water it every day, but in winter, you should water it less often, generally once every half a month. In addition, you can use rice water or tap water to water Tillandsia.

Tillandsia watering method

1. Water according to the temperature: Generally, if the surrounding temperature is high, you can water the Tillandsia more often, but be careful not to let too much water accumulate at its roots. It is best to stop watering when water overflows from the bottom of the pot.

2. Check the soil in the pot when watering: Generally, Tillandsia prefers loose and slightly moist soil. When watering it, you should first touch the soil with your hand to see if it is dry. If so, you can water it with less water.

Tillandsia watering precautions

1. Pay attention to the watering position: Generally, when watering the iron orchid, you must avoid its flowers and branches and leaves, because its flowers are very fragile and may wither if you water it too much.

2. Watering principles in summer: When watering in summer, you must pay attention to the amount of water. Although more water is needed in summer, you cannot water too much at one time. It is best to use a watering can to sprinkle some water around it, which can have a cooling effect.

What to do if you water Tillandsia too much

Generally, if you water the Tillandsia too much, you need to place it in a well-ventilated environment for a few days, preferably in a place with light. This can promote the evaporation of water. Generally, if there is not much water in the pot, it will evaporate quickly and resume growth.
