Watering Needs

As they thrive well in dry conditions, these Tillandsia streptophylla do not need frequent watering. It prefers misting or gentle rinsing that reaches the base of the leaves and the center of the rosette. You can mist them a couple of times a week if the climate is mild. On the contrary, if you live in dry arid regions, it is best to soak your Shirley Temple in water for five minutes once every week! Do not forget to let the curly plant dry out after watering to prevent rot. Remember, it's better to underwater than overwater this curly succulent plant. 

After watering, make sure to shake off any excess water and allow your Tillandsia to dry in a well-ventilated area. It will absorb the morning dew drops through its leaves or trichomes. If given less moisture, its leaves curl inwards. 

It's important to monitor the humidity levels in your environment, and local weather conditions as it can affect the watering needs of Tillandsia Streptophylla. If the air is too dry, you can provide additional humidity by misting the plant more frequently or placing it near a humidifier. 

Light Requirements 

Tillandsia streptophyllaplants grow at their best in indoor settings. They prefer moderate to bright indirect sunlight. Avoid placing them outside in direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. This Shirley temple does well in spaces with bright, filtered light, such as near a window with a sheer curtain or in a well-lit room. 

If you're unsure about the light levels in your space, you can observe the plant's leaves. If they start to turn brown or yellow, it may be an indication that the light is too intense. On the other hand, if the leaves become elongated and stretch toward the light source, it may be a sign that it needs more light. 

Remember, each plant is unique, so it's important to find the right balance of light for your Tillandsia Streptophylla. If you notice any changes in the plant's appearance, you can adjust its placement accordingly. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

Tillandsia Streptophylla is an air plant that doesn't require soil. It actually absorbs nutrients and moisture through its leaves. Instead of soil, you can place the plant in a well-draining container or attach it to a piece of driftwood, cork, or other decorative objects. This allows the plant to thrive in a variety of creative displays. 

When it comes to fertilizing your Shirley temple, it's important to use a specialized air plant fertilizer. These fertilizers are formulated to provide the necessary nutrients without harming your succulent. You can dilute the fertilizer according to the instructions on the package and apply it to the plant's leaves during its regular watering routine. However, be careful not to over-fertilize, as it can lead to damage or burn the Tillandsia plant. 

Remember, air plants like Tillandsia Streptophylla are low-maintenance and don't require frequent fertilization.

The Tillandsia Streptophylla is native to Central America and thrives in warm and tropical climates. It is generally recommended for hardiness zones 9-11, which are regions with mild winters and high temperatures year-round. These air plants prefer temperatures between 60°F and 80°F.

Luxury-so much luxury
Color: White, Size: Throw-50"x60", Color: White, Size: Throw-50"x60"
Love this blanket. Very warm,thick and heavy,lux fur feels real&soft even after washing(4 washings to date). One side it the fur,the reverse side is a suede-like material that helps it adhere to the bed couch whatever. In between is a thick duvet like filling. The only caveat and it is minor is that the fur is quite slippery. If used as a tire over a couch your guest will be sliding off 😁. Otherwise this throw is a dream. Well worth the money

Shade of color is off a bit….
Color: Browngrey, Size: Throw-50"x60", Color: Browngrey, Size: Throw-50"x60"
I ordered two blankets to replace the queen size blanket I had originally, one being a throw blanket for the chase portion of the couch and the larger twin size blanket for the back rest of the couch. PROS: the blankets are beautiful!! They’re soft and luxurious with fluffy fur on one side and a velvety smooth mushroom/sage color on the other side. The sizes work perfectly together giving good coverage for such a large couch. I haven’t had any issues with shedding which was my concern. Washability seems easy enough. I’m gonna have to be careful with the drying process as to not damage the synthetic fibers. CONS: the color…. It’s not what was advertised at all. I ordered the brown/grey. what I got was more of a SANDY TAN/DARK GREY. (They use a color filter on the example photos which doesn’t translate well in person) At first I hated the color but it slowly grew on me! Works well with the rest of the living room decor and gives our space a cozy elegant vibe. I included photos of different times throughout the day to showcase how different lighting affects the color of the fur.

Color: Browngrey, Size: Queen-80"x80"
Honestly I love this blanket and want to buy a few more. Its thick & warm like it could be real fur. I just don’t know how to wash it but thats a given for faux fur. I bought the queen & it fits perfectly on my bed. I have started using it as a couch cover during the winter and it is very comfortable & soft.
