My T. ionantha is blooming. I love the red leaves when it blooms. The flowers are also adorable and pretty.

Actually, they need to be watered. Because they don't live in soil, it's actually more work to water them

really? I thought air plants get their moisture by absorbing it from the air using their specialized leaves, except when they are in a hot dry environment. If grown Outdoors, they don't have to be watered at all. They actually can't survive in standing water.

You're not supposed to have them in standing water. But you have to dunk them in water or spray them every other day.

I attach mine to pieces of wood and hang them on my CP rack. I usually pour water all over them when I water my other CPs. They don't need to be watered to often.
