My wall of Air Plants
Not Cactus or Succulants, I know but it is nice to look at

That looks great! Curious if you know what species it is. Also wondering what kind of light it gets and how often you water it. I live in west LA and am curious about putting my Tilsandia outside

Fishhook cacti are like cats, they only like to be petted in one direction

That looks very nice, what a clever idea to display them in a wall! They look so healthy and happy too. Love the flower spikes. I have a few too, but they're in a shell instead. And indoors.

Re: My wall of Air Plants
Hi Shane
I'm in Benedict Canyon myself.
tillandsia aeranthos
The plants get filtered light through out the day. Currently they get a few hours of afternoon direct sun from the left side. I'll need to shield them with some shade cloth as the sun gets hotter. We mist them once a week with the hose.

Re: My wall of Air Plants
If you are into airplants. In Hawthorn on Hawthorn Blvd is Rainforest Flora. Incredible Dealer and grower. The largest I believe in the US. They had a second farm in San Diego that burned down in last years fires. My daughter and I went there last month and had the pleasure of a private tour from the owner.
