CARE GUIDE
How to keep Tillandsia Oaxacana.
Water
Water 2 to 4 times a week with a mister. If your environment is dry, mist daily. Water until the plant is saturated. Reduce watering in the winter.
Temperature
It shouldn't come as a surprise that this tropical species appreciates warm conditions. Ideal minimum temperatures for encouraging blooms are around 75 degrees Fahrenheit. They aren't fans of dry conditions either. If there isn't enough humidity, the foliage can develop brown tips.
Fertilizer
Feeding isn't always necessary for healthy plants. Many enthusiasts, however, will feed their plant once in the spring and once in the summer. There are foliar fertilizer sprays developed especially for Tillandsia species.
