Watering Needs

As they thrive well in dry conditions, these Tillandsia streptophylla do not need frequent watering. It prefers misting or gentle rinsing that reaches the base of the leaves and the center of the rosette. You can mist them a couple of times a week if the climate is mild. On the contrary, if you live in dry arid regions, it is best to soak your Shirley Temple in water for five minutes once every week! Do not forget to let the curly plant dry out after watering to prevent rot. Remember, it's better to underwater than overwater this curly succulent plant. 

After watering, make sure to shake off any excess water and allow your Tillandsia to dry in a well-ventilated area. It will absorb the morning dew drops through its leaves or trichomes. If given less moisture, its leaves curl inwards. 

It's important to monitor the humidity levels in your environment, and local weather conditions as it can affect the watering needs of Tillandsia Streptophylla. If the air is too dry, you can provide additional humidity by misting the plant more frequently or placing it near a humidifier. 

Light Requirements 

Tillandsia streptophyllaplants grow at their best in indoor settings. They prefer moderate to bright indirect sunlight. Avoid placing them outside in direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. This Shirley temple does well in spaces with bright, filtered light, such as near a window with a sheer curtain or in a well-lit room. 

If you're unsure about the light levels in your space, you can observe the plant's leaves. If they start to turn brown or yellow, it may be an indication that the light is too intense. On the other hand, if the leaves become elongated and stretch toward the light source, it may be a sign that it needs more light. 

Remember, each plant is unique, so it's important to find the right balance of light for your Tillandsia Streptophylla. If you notice any changes in the plant's appearance, you can adjust its placement accordingly. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

Tillandsia Streptophylla is an air plant that doesn't require soil. It actually absorbs nutrients and moisture through its leaves. Instead of soil, you can place the plant in a well-draining container or attach it to a piece of driftwood, cork, or other decorative objects. This allows the plant to thrive in a variety of creative displays. 

When it comes to fertilizing your Shirley temple, it's important to use a specialized air plant fertilizer. These fertilizers are formulated to provide the necessary nutrients without harming your succulent. You can dilute the fertilizer according to the instructions on the package and apply it to the plant's leaves during its regular watering routine. However, be careful not to over-fertilize, as it can lead to damage or burn the Tillandsia plant. 

Remember, air plants like Tillandsia Streptophylla are low-maintenance and don't require frequent fertilization. 

Hardiness Zone & More 

The Tillandsia Streptophylla is native to Central America and thrives in warm and tropical climates. It is generally recommended for hardiness zones 9-11, which are regions with mild winters and high temperatures year-round. These air plants prefer temperatures between 60°F and 80°F. It can tolerate slightly higher temperatures but may struggle in extreme heat or cold.

Would not buy again
My dog loves chew toys and was very excited when I opened the package. She played with it for about 10 minutes and now she wont touch it. It does seem very durable as she chewed on it and there was little damage.

Long lasting, not super appealing to my dogs.
Objective Data: I have two 50 pound dogs; a 10mos goldendoodle and a 7yo viszla. The puppy is a moderate chewer, the senior dog takes chewing in binges. He will occasionally get something and work it over for awhile and then not seek out anything to chew for a couple of days. Initially these went over well, but neither of my dogs pursue these much after a few weeks. The puppy will occasionally bring one over to briefly chew laying at my feet. Even with the initial, enthusiastic chewing of "new" toys these are still very intact!! These are going to last such a long time. **CAUTION** if you have beige carpet I don't recommend these toys for your home. They blend in to the color of our carpet and I cannot tell you how many times I have rolled my ankle or stubbed my toe kicking one across a dim/dark room. I would rather walk barefoot through a minefield of legos.

Keeps my dog busy
My dog has so much fun getting peanut butter out of this chew! It has small holes so it makes them put a little more effort than a typical chew. I would say it keeps them occupied for at least 15-20 minutes and they get pretty tired after. I think it's a good size for my medium dog. One thing i wish they did was making it with a silicone rather than nylon. It does get chewed off and I don't like the fact that they are ingesting them. All in all it's a great design to keep than busy.

Seriously durable
I have 3 XXL dogs (how convenient this comes in a three pack!). They will destroy many toys marked for aggressive chewers, but not these. Plus, they are good sized, leaving room for me to hold them while they are chewing when I elect to do that. I don't really smell anything in the toy itself. Maybe the dogs do, but not enough to keep their interest more than a few minutes. However, when I smeared it with peanut butter, it was a whole new story. All 3 of them LOVED that and spent some time getting every last morsel of peanut butter out of the toy. In the meantime, because of the honeycomb texture, I feel they were getting a decent dose of tooth cleaning as well. I wish the texture were a little deeper to fit more peanut butter, but I suppose it is probable that would make the surface texture less durable. My dogs like them, so I do too!
