That is a big depend question, it would depend on your seasons, local weather conditions and where they are located.

Being in Australia I would not know any of that

I have mine in Terrascapes all indoors and some have flowered, using plant and daylight T8 tube lighting 12hrs per day.

Its winter in a few days one tank gets misted every day because of other indoor garden plants and the other misted maybe once a week.

During the hotter months no A/C every day plus keeping the humidity up with underground watering.

I figured it would not be so simple. Do you have any idea how to tell if one is not getting enough water? I have heard that if you tug on the bottom leaf it will come off if it needs more water. I have used this for some but others have a woody like bottom that does not seem to do this.

Thank You

All I do is just look they will look dry and very limp.
I have just moved two Tills from outside and under cover never seen water for over a month looked OK but I gave them a good dunking and they do look a lot better.

I am no expert, but from what I have been reading a soak twice a week with listings in between in dry climates is a good general rule. That, and I read somewhere that underwatering makes the leaves curl more? Not sure if this is helpful or not. I am still learning about these myself.

The greener they are, the more water they like/tolerate. The whiter they are, the more they are able to tolerate sun and dry conditions. But no plant can live without water, it's just the amount.

Try this site: https://tropiflora.com/shop.cfm

Hover over "Bromeliads" and you'll get a choice at the bottom of the list of tillandsias by Size (if you click on Bromelaids, you'll see everything and have to go deep to begin to see the Tillandsias).

You can also search (near top of page) for what you want (such as "ionantha")

For each plant they give a description and what the plant likes in the way of light, water, temperature, etc. Helpful pictur4s, too. VERY useful!

Tropiflora is a sales site, with a wide variety of rare and expensive -- to common and inexpensive plants. They also have a weekly newsletter. I have yet to order from them but it sure is tempting! I wish they were located closer to me (I'm not going to move in the direction of all that humidity though!) :)
