How to keep Tillandsia Araujei.

Water

To keep your Tillandsia araujei healthy, maintain proper moisture levels by either soaking or misting it regularly. Be careful to avoid water collecting between the leaves, as this can lead to rot. After watering, gently tilt or shake the plant to remove any excess moisture. If you notice the leaves curling, it is a sign that the plant is experiencing a significant water shortage and needs to be soaked immediately.

Pruning

Tillandsia araujei is an epiphytic plant known for its sturdy, spiky foliage. To encourage better growth and airflow, it's best to prune the plant in early spring, removing any dead leaves. Always use clean tools to make precise cuts, which will improve the plant's health and appearance and help prevent disease.
