    Care Tips

    As a xeric species, Tillandsia barbeyana requires bright light, including direct sun for several hours daily, and strong air circulation. Water by misting or soaking once or twice per week in warm seasons, and reduce frequency in cooler or humid conditions. Allow the plant to dry completely within a few hours after watering. Avoid water accumulation in the leaf axils, as prolonged moisture can lead to rot.
