I've been growing orchids and bromeliads for many years, but as far as the broms go, my collection is small and primarily composed of the common stuff that catches my eye at the local garden centers. I happened to find an orchid I could not live without in the latest Cargo Report from Tropiflora, and decided to sweeten the deal by ordering a few tillandsias from the beginner's page.

Anyway, perhaps I'm looking in the wrong places, but I'm not finding much cultural information on t. variabilis, so I'm curious if anybody on the forum has any suggestions? I did find some info that says this species grows best when potted, so I'm planning to pot mine. However, I am uncertain on how much light this species requires (I grow my orchids and broms under fluorescent lights). Also, an idea of this plant's moisture requirements would be nice. I'm assuming it likes moist conditions based on some pictures I've seen from it's native habitats, but I don't want to assume too much.

Any cultural recommendations will be greatly appreciated, so let me thank you in advance for your knowledge. Right now I've got the pups soaking in water with some Superthrive mixed in for good measure, but I will be getting around to potting them up tomorrow or Saturday.
