I've read tillandsias can be treated with propiconazole and I'm wondering if it can be used to avoid potential rot. Will someone with experience using systemic fungicides for tillandsias let me know your thoughts? Also, what is the recommended concentration and method of administration?
Thank you!

Rot happens with too much watering, and a fungicide won’t save a plant whose tissues are oversaturated with water. Just be mindful of how much/how often you’re watering.
I’ve used it as a fungal preventative before. Strider 1.8ml per gallon.
Fungicide doesn’t do anything against rot because rot happens from bacteria build up, not fungus. If you’re thinking that your airplant in the picture needs fungicide, it looks perfectly healthy. I wouldn’t apply fungicide as a preventative because why expose your plant (and yourself) to something it doesn’t need?
