Here are some highlights on my air plants’ progress this summer:
• All three T. butzii had 2-4 pups each. One broke off when the wind knocked off the entire display. Thankfully, the pup seems to be steadily growing on its own.
• 1 of 2 T. albida grew a pup!
• T. plagiotropica flowered. Hope to see some pup/s soon!
• T. intermedia started flowering. It seems to be taking its sweet time coz it’s still ongoing. Slowest i’ve observed so far.
• My T. leonamiana forma has become an air plant cerberus with 3 (and one more growing) heads now.
• T. brachycaulos, T. houston, and 1 of 2 T. aeranthos started to blush. Most notable when they’re wet after misting. No other visible sign of flowering though.
• 1 of 2 T. bergeri grew a 5th pup.
• The rest grew a bit and most sprouted roots.
Thinking of moving most of these to a wire mesh/matrix for their permanent home. We’ll see.
