Hi Folks,
I am very new to this forum and I am from Singapore.
After getting 3 pieces of subtropical tillandsia, I tried to google for cultivation info but could not find. I need help as to how to grow these subtropical tillandsia well in hot Singapore at about 34 degrees C during the day all year round.
I have [1] Tillandsia Magnusiana [2] Tillandsia Velickiana and [3] Tillandsia Plagiotropica.
I am now growing them in sheltered bright shaded area in my garden. Day temperature around 34 degree C with 2 small solar fan blowing at them. The location is also very windy with high humidity.
I would bring all of them into my aircondition room to get night cooling.
The next morning at about 6am submerged all of them into icy water for about 5 minutes and hang upside down for the water to drip dry and by 11am the tillandsia are already very dry - I sprayed with water again. I does this every day for about a week now.
I look forward to have someone able to highlight/adv/help me, what I really need to do next inorder for me to grow such beautiful tillandsia in my Hot Singapore country.

Thanks for you quick reply .
I do understand that those tillandsia are from altitude subtropical habitat. It is a challenge to grow them well in Singapore. So, I am seeking help as to how I should be growing them.
A good example from the highland habitat is Tillandsia Seleriana - this could be grown in our Singapore climate.
Pls adv me should you have ideas as to how these highland tillandsia should be grown - They are most beautiful type of tillandsia..

Hi Albert,
I agree with HEL that you just picked the species that may not survive
the heat in Singapore in the long run. BUT:
You should check the forum for a guy named chanin and
get in contact with him.
He is from Bangkok and I suppose that is a climate simular to yours.
Though he is a specialist in rather hot brazilian species,
he might have hints for you.
Greetings from Germany, Timm
