To water them, you can soak them in demineralized water, rainwater, or non-calcareous tap water for about 30 minutes, once a week in summer and less frequently in winter (every 2 to 4 weeks). Gently shake the plants to remove excess water after soaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHumidity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tillandsia need relatively high humidity. If you live in a very dry environment, you can lightly mist them with water between soakings to maintain adequate humidity.
