What you need to provide for your Tillandsia:

Most of them are suited to bright light or filtered sun - but avoid direct sunlight, especially in summer, as this may lead to sunburn.

They can survive between 5°C to 35°C, but the ideal temperature for them to grow is 15°C to 25°C.

They need a well-ventilated area, as they love fresh, moving air. The movement of air dries the plants between waterings, which helps avoid diseases that result from overwatering.

Spray them with water around three times per week at night until the silvery leaves turn darker. You can tell if there's a lack of water by how curly the leaves appear, save for a few curly-leaved species, e.g. Tillandsia streptophylla and Tillandsia duratii Visiani. Fertilizing isn't necessary, but it will increase the growth of your plants and their blooms. If you do this, use fertilizer specifically for Tillandsia.

Don't fertilize if it's too hot or if you've just bought your plant within the past two to three weeks.
