Forgot pictures first post and Reddit doesn’t let me post after. I soak in rain water, shake after, turn upside down for a while, then put back in their place. They live in South Florida, over my sink , not too far or too close, no cooking every day, my carnivores live over my stove. Others are doing good. Any advice is greatly appreciated

Do you soak them upside down?
I’m sorry you lost the plant. Since they take in water through their leaves, if they’re sitting above your sink – which will be one of the higher humidity places in Your house, and you’re in a high humidity place like Florida, it’s possible it got overwatered. Have you had any really bad high humidity days recently? Otherwise, for the rest, I would cut back on the watering, because that definitely looks like rot.
Good luck!
Bulbous tillandsia are prone to rot because water will stuck in the blub, keep only the leaves in water while the bulb outside of water.
a small hand held fan will help them to dry better, sit them on paper towel and keep changing once it gets soaked
Next time only water with the bulbs (bottom part of plant) out of the water and try your best not to get them wet. Water every 7-10 days
Good luck
