How to fertilize Tillandsia Usneoides

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Tillandsia Usneoides after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

I have this Spanish moss in the bathroom. I live in the desert and it’s so dry. Hopefully I can keep it alive with the humidifier. Next year I plan to move to San Antonio, Texas and I will have a variety of plants to choose from! #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #GregGang #SpanishMoss

Is this Spanish moss dead? I have two of these and I thought they would be hard to kill. I was watering them every two weeks - spraying them down thoroughly with a spray bottle. But they seem like they might be dead. Someone told me they “hibernate” but they’re not turning green again.

im reading the care guide and its telling me to put in soil. That doesn't sound right cuz its an air plant. It doesn't require soil does it? And its also saying to water every two weeks, and Google said every few days. Im confused. Help. #SpanishMoss #airplant
