Beginner success with Tillandsia Andreana — here is what helped

As a complete beginner I was nervous about starting with Tillandsia Andreana. It turned out to be more forgiving than I expected, as long as I paid attention to soaking in water for 20 to 30 minutes once or twice a week.

I grow mine in a glass globe or terrarium with open ventilation which is working really well. extraordinary architectural forms from spiralling to globe-shaped was a genuine surprise — I didn't expect it to look or perform like that. flowering triggered by lengthening days in spring or summer has been the highlight so far. My biggest mistake early on was ignoring dehydration shown by rolled or curled leaves, which I'd recommend addressing immediately.
