Made For Each Other

Tillansias are interesting little bromeliads that don't have roots systems and grow in nature where ever they happen to land. I find them fascinating and quite charming. These ones are tucked into the trunk of a Washintonia palm tree.

A weekly soft spray with the hose will keep them happy. A spray bottle with a bit of diluted bromeliad fertilizer will make them ecstatic.

I like it very much how you have tucked the tillandsias into the bracts of the palm. I have to try that. My palms are mostly smooth, but I have a few dwarf date palms which I could use. Thanks for the tip with the fertilizer.
