FAQs

Luftikus Airplants

Who are you?

Luftikus-Airplants is an online shop specializing in the sale of tillandsia , also known as air plants .

Where do your plants come from?

The natural home of the tillandsia is the American continent. We source our plants from specialist nurseries in Germany and the Netherlands . Many species are also grown from seeds and cultivated there. Some are imported and propagated as young plants from Central America, mainly from Guatemala . We are aware that every transport leaves a carbon footprint. The great thing about tillandsias is that they can be transported in a very space-saving way because they don't need any soil. In addition, every plant compensates for its CO2 footprint over its lifetime, since it is reassimilated via the atmosphere.

What about species protection?

With Tillandsia xerographica and Tillandsia harrisii you can also get air plant species from us that are threatened with extinction in nature and are protected by the Washington Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species ( CITES ). That is why we attach great importance to the fact that our plants come from sustainable cultivation in specialized nurseries and that wild stocks are protected .

I have a pet. Are tillandsias poisonous?

Tillandsias are considered non-toxic and harmless to your animal roommates.

Care

How do I care for my tillandsia?

It's easy!
You can find detailed instructions with video in our blog post .

What is the best location?

In general, air plants should be very bright but not in direct sunlight. The blazing midday sun in particular is unfavorable. Some species such as Tillandsia butzii also like it a little darker.

How are Tillandsias watered?

You don't need to water them, but of course they still need water. In short, it is enough to spray them completely wet 1-2 times a week or to put them in a dip once a week. It is important that they can dry completely again and that no water collects.

Which water should I use?

The water should be as low in lime as possible. Rainwater is perfect. If you have lime-rich tap water, you can mix it with distilled water or use a water filter (Britta, etc.). Never use pure distilled water.

Should I use fertilizer?

Fertilizer is not absolutely necessary. But if you want to do something good for your air plants, you can use our tillandsia care spray .

How do I attach tillandsia?

We use our aluminum wire for all purposes. If an invisible attachment is required for a natural arrangement, you can stick it on with a special waterproof adhesive, for example: UHU PolyMax. Under no circumstances should hot glue be used, as some recommend, as it can seriously burn the plants.
