Tillandsia Aerial Plant Exhibition, Cyprus, Nicosia

in Succulent growers4 years ago (edited)

I and my friend, with her children, visited the Tillandsia aerial plant exhibition in January this year.
It was held in another city. It was only 1 day. Before the exhibition, a lecture was held on the cultivation of these plants.
Here is a short one.

Tillandsia aerophytes differ from other plants in that they have practically no roots.
Adult epiphytes have roots resembling wire.
They are assigned to bark or moss.

When growing Aerophytes of Tillandsia at home, it is necessary from time to time to immerse it together with the support in water.
Tillandsia aerophytes do not like high temperatures.
Summer temperature is desirable up to + 25 ° C, at night no lower than + 15 ° C. In winter time, a temperature of + 14 ° C to + 18 ° C is desirable.

The photos I were taken with a Lenovo TAB 2 A10-70L tablet

Since this exhibition was dedicated to air plants.

People are quite crazy about air plants! They are not edible!!

Yes, many people like them.
But I'm not crazy about them.
I like my plants with cacti more :-)))
