love this Tillandsia so much! it looks so much better than in the picture, with leaves spreading out like a pineapple head. I find this species more prone to burning by hard water, yet when I treated it some sparkling spring water, it recovered very well. [CaCO3 + H2CO3 -> Ca(HCO3)2]
P.S. do not even try hard water on any of your Tillandsia (I was lazy, but I have learnt my lesson), because the accumulated metal ions will drag the water out of their leaves by osmosis, which causes leaf dehydration much quicker than usual.
