Adeline went to the Pick A Plant plot in cck 1 month back . So I asked her to help me purchase these. 

Then the week after during 18 Aug I went Fareast florist and got these as presents.

Thanks to hubby for buying all these loving plants for me :)

Went to Alexandra ikea and on the way there saw the florist which I used to get my orchid from. Stop to see what's in store and then I spotted airplants . Got 5 for $20

Tillandsia Bugs...

While surfing the garden forum came across this "Air Plant", hence decided to get it as a present for a fren who is scared of the soil pest when growing plants. Thought this might be a better gift for her - no soil, no pot. :P Of coz' can deco nice nice display item at home too. Passed her the gifts already and hope she likes it.

This is what I got:

1. Ionantha rubra,
2. Melanocrater tricolor,
3. Ionantha fuego,


4. Fuschii var gracilis,
5. Velutina


I used to have it back in 2002 which my ex-colleague got for us as his exit gifts. None of us managed to keep it alive, guess during then information was limited and hence we do not really knows how to takecare of it. Hopefully this time round with more information and support, my Tillies will survive.
