The Tillandsia's are in a strong growing stage as the weather starts to cool here.
estación seca comments about hot weather and Tillandsia not liking it is just so true. As he mentions a lot of Tillandsia grow high up on mountains with full sun but not the heat of the lower country. Critical information for growing Tillandsia inside or outside!
My new Tillandsia wholesaler contact is awesome! It is the only true Tillandsia wholesaler in Australia. To date I have had to buy my plants from their retail outlet. Will share some of my recent incoming plants from them. Truly amazing!
Ordered some T. bulbosa expecting the normal mature 125mm to 160mm or 5" to 6" tall plants. But have been sent the miniature form in clumps. Have not seen this plant for sale anywhere in Australia before. It really is something to me! The miniature forms seem to be a lot more forgiving and have heaps of pups than there large growing types.

Look at how T. houston arrived to Tillandsia House. With them flowering they will now grow pups from 1 to 5 plants each new plant. T. houston is a target plant for us. They just grow so well here.
They love the hottest place in the bush house with as much sun as you can give them. They live hard up against the 50% shade cloth on the sunny side of the bush house.
These plants have been positioned in the roof shelving to get the most sun as possible!
