Hi Camille! Yes I am and just uploaded a new video today :) Sorry for the absence I've explained it in the new video, but I'm back with more videos and here to stay!
Thank you so much for your great tutorials of these great Air plants. To share our knowledge was interesting to hear and see. I appropriate your effort to share it to all of us. I have learned much form you.
Thank you Sirpa for watching and the kind words 💚😇. Your encouragement means a lot and I will definitely be making more videos to share everything air plant related and more!
I watch you on RUclips and you have helped me a lot with my air plants I've had them for 2 weeks now how often can I dump them in my aquarium I do have a fish aquarium but I've never fertilize them and I haven't done them in any aquarium water yet
I recently purchased Neglecta that's been mounted. However, the space on its mounted cork is very tight. I wonder what to do as they grow slightly bigger. They are glued on. How do I remove the pups, or do you have other ideas?
Hi! I just got my first two Air plants 2 days ago and I’m not sure what species they are. I’m from The Philippines, and the seller didn’t give me the specific specie but I noticed that it looked similar to the commonly sold Air Plant around here which is the ionantha rubra. I did some googling and I didn’t get the specific info I needed so I thought I’d ask you. Do ionantha rubras bloom first and create pups later or can they create pups before blooming like ionantha mexico and ionantha guatemala?
All the ionanthas behave a bit different, but I would say 85% of the time they produce flowers before pups; however, ionantha mexico is a pupping machine and they can easily pup before sending out flowers. If you want to check what you plant is, feel free to email me at info@davesairplantcorner.com or find me on facebook/instagram :)
Oh and I'm going to need you to move in and help me with my plants. None of mine have been healthy enough to produce pups and I've tried everything :'(
great video. thanks! so the ionanatha you have is growing pups even without flowering. isn't it the natural process where you have flowers first followed by pups? i was wondering how that is possible. and also when you were separating the xerographica, if it doesn't twist off from the mom too easily, is it ok to use a knife to cut it off? thanks! enjoy watching your videos!
Hi Daphne, it is usually the case for most air plants to flower before pupping, but not for all the species. Some plants once they come to maturity they can start to produce pups or grow in "clumps", basically meaning they grow multiple pups at a time and the whole plant grows into a ball. Plants can also pup if the mother plant has partially died off but there are still green tissues, it will produce pups still as if it has flowered. And yes, you can use a sterilized knife to cut off pups, I have personally never done it, but as long as you don't cut off the base tissue of the pup it will do well. Sometimes if you cut it too high the plant will not survive. Thanks for watching! Happy growing :D
They love humidity and bright light! Give them these two things and they will grow well and bloom/pup. You can also consider using fertilizer to give them an extra boost of nutrition :)
Usually one after another but some plants tend to have multiple pups at once, which means they're basically growing in clumps. T. ionantha is one of those plants that can have multiple pups growing at the base at once.
You kinda aren't able to work with them at all if you don't touch them, so I wouldn't say that's true, although when handling you must be careful as to not damage the trichomes
They don't have to be dehydrated to curl but you're right a lot of them do curl up when they are drier. If you're referring to the Xerographica, it is an older specimen (at least 6-7 years old) but if I water them more it could have straighter leaves yes.
I have learned so much from you. You have helped the beginner enthusiast so much. Thank you, I appreciate you.
Great video! More detail about propagation via pups than I have seen in most Tillandsia videos.
My air plants are having pups, but only one flowered. This is Awesome information 🤩 Thanks for sharing!
I love airplants. Maybe you could do tillandsia spotlight so viewers can easily deal with the specie they have. 😁
Thanks for the suggestion! I actually did that few videos back on T. ionantha! Will be doing more of those to introduce each species!
Are you still making air-plant videos?!? I've learned so much, but have seen any 2021 videos as yet.
Hi Camille! Yes I am and just uploaded a new video today :) Sorry for the absence I've explained it in the new video, but I'm back with more videos and here to stay!
Thanks so much! You were very clear and thorough. After the mother plant grows pups, do they die? 🥺

@@DavesAirPlantCorner YW. I'm exited to wait for more :) My air plants are growing well I'm so happy for it :) Have a great time.

Oh I love air plants... planning on buying some for myself
Do it! You won't be disappointed 😁💚
Can you do a video on propagating a Tillandsia Harrisii please and thank you. Mine looks almost like a laurel crown.
Thank you.
Welcome! Thanks for watching :)

Ty
Thank you for your time. Great info.
Thank you for watching! :D
Why do your plants look so dried out? like they need water when do you water your plants? How long did they take to get that healthy and big ?

I have a Tillandsia mom that the very small pup came off during soaking. How do I care for this tiny pup?

my friend gave a the baby pups which is way too small.. and it start to turn black after she gave it to me a week ago.. is it dying?
How to you get your plants to bloom abx produce pups?
They love humidity and bright light! Give them these two things and they will grow well and bloom/pup. You can also consider using fertilizer to give them an extra boost of nutrition :)
After the air plants bloom, will the pups appear all at once, or one after another?
Usually one after another but some plants tend to have multiple pups at once, which means they're basically growing in clumps. T. ionantha is one of those plants that can have multiple pups growing at the base at once.
@@DavesAirPlantCorner Thank you. I have a Tillandsia Medusa. After flowering, I only have one puppy. I wish I could get more.
What if you snapped it higher and the white is showing?
How to care of the pups after separating?
That’s the biggest air plant I have ever seen
😁There are a few species/hybrids that can get up to 20" wide!
I heard it's not advisable to touch them with your bare hands. True?
You kinda aren't able to work with them at all if you don't touch them, so I wouldn't say that's true, although when handling you must be careful as to not damage the trichomes
Do you sell them?
isnt it if your air plants are dehydrated their leaves curl? your biggest airplant is just dry and not old...
They don't have to be dehydrated to curl but you're right a lot of them do curl up when they are drier. If you're referring to the Xerographica, it is an older specimen (at least 6-7 years old) but if I water them more it could have straighter leaves yes.
