Tillandsia - air plant

Plants to admire because of living with no soil. Once I've discovered them, I loved them.
Right now t. fuchsii is blooming:

My collection:

Bloomed before:

 

How do they get their water and nutrients if they don't need soil?

 

Naturally with rain water, and organics washed by rain, through all the surface of plant. They grow roots only to fix to some support.
At home I spray them with water properly, making all plant wet, and occasionally adding fertilizer into the water.

 

Much as I like them too, that is where I would fail! You have to remember and my memory is poor.............

 

I like them too mainly because the flower for longer than my Billbergias.
Do I see a Caput -Medusae there as well? I only have Cyanea now.

 

I have to keep telling myself that I really don't need to start another collection of plants. Tillandsia are fascinating and really amazing in a green wall though (Nooo, I mustn't.....).

 

Fantastic! And smashing photos too!

 

Yes, I have it, going to show it's flowers soon.

 

I have quite compact varieties, sometime in future I want to get t.xerographica and t.tectorum.

 

I had some of these for a few years, I also had quite a bit of spanish moss, I used to put this outside in summer and dump it in the water butt for an hour or so a couple of times a week, it multiplied really well until a couple of black birds spotted it.
It all disappeared in a couple of days.

Guess it made really good nesting material.

 

Same here Pete, my T Usneoides stays in the greenhouse otherwise the Sparrows will have it.

 

My small spanish moss doesn't grow much. Possibly, I try it keeping outside in summer too.

 

I do not have it's name. T.filifolia possibly?

 

Caput-medusae not ready yet:

 

And my big "onion"
