Great-- thanks for the heads up on the spider plant. Maybe I'll move tillandsia to a happier, more solitary place. I could put it into its own little open teardrop globe or probably something that allows for more air. Good idea to plant a more future-minded terrarium. But I won't likely make another big one for a while-- I'm running out of good spots in my small, mostly-windowless apartment. Well that may be getting a little ambitious for me!it from a leather webwork I built
I had a tillandsia that lived in a shell with a magnet on it. It sat on the fridge for like 3 years. They're tough to get to bloom (never succeeded) but they also thrive under neglect. Here's your next project: build one that's easy to take care of (maybe you already have). Live with it for a few months. Then give it to someone you like.
