Water Tillandsia argenteaTenere asciutto
To avoid that a scarce drainage could favour the development of fungal diseases, let's remember to avoid leaving water in the saucer. We suggest watering these plants with 2-3 glasses of water only when the soil is perfectly dry, generally it needs to be watered about every 1-2 weeks . Let's avoid to exceed.

Cultivation Tillandsia argentea
Growing they develop a round-shape shrub. This plant in the spring, summer, autumn, winter assumes a greensand colouring; it is medium in size and can reach 50 cm high. It keeps its leaves in the winter. The Tillandsia argentea develops like a perennial herb.

Light Tillandsia argenteaPosizione mezza ombra
It prefers partially shady locations, where it can be reached by the solar rays only during the coolest hours of the day. Let's avoid exposing apartment plants to direct sunlight, which could damage the leaves, especially during the hottest months of the year. We should prefer a bright position, but with filtered light.The Tillandsia argentea is a pretty delicate plant, which fears minimum temperatures below 15°C; during late spring it can be cultivated outdoors.

Pests Tillandsia argentea
The spring weather, with a high temperature swing between the day and night hours, and pretty frequent rains, can favour the development of fungus diseases, which should be treated pre-emptively with a systemic fungicide, to use before the gems grow excessively; at the end of the winter we also suggest a wide range insecticide to prevent the attack of aphids and cochineals. We should always remember to do these treatments when there aren't flowerings in the garden.

Mold Tillandsia argentea
These apartment plants favour very well drained soils.

Seeing the quite contained development it’s possible to grow these plants in a container. The indications given in this article are related to a medium size plant.
