Slightly OT...Tillandsias Question-NO copper wire
Shell, I read that copper wire is instant death to Tillys!!!!! I haven't
used it so not sure? I would imagine if it is plastic coated it would be okay. Cheers Wendy "Shell91" wrote in message . .. I've been looking on the net and I will probably fix it on a piece of wood using a bit of wire. I've got some nice copper wire that ought to work well. Shell "Ray" wrote in message ... Tillandsias make marvelous companion plants for orchids. Just be aware that they are much slower to put out roots and grab the mount than are orchids, so you will have to apply the mechanical support. -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies, Books, Artwork, and Lots of Free Info! . . . . . . . . . . . "Shell91" wrote in message . .. Does anyone have Tillandsias? I am wondering how well one will do with an orchid which is planted in a similar manner (mounted on a piece of bark, etc.) I have just gotten a Tillandsia capitata Hondurensis and I think it would look really nice in a grouping with an orchid, most likely a cattleya. I plan to get a full spectrum light for the Tillandsia as well, will this be good for the orchid too? Shell |

Slightly OT...Tillandsias Question-NO copper wire
copper is TOXIC, it is used to kill big trees. You just drive a copper nail
or too in to the tree and wait. IT WILL DIE. Mattias Baecklund "Wendy" skrev i meddelandet news:Xxl7b.121470$kP.82425@fed1read03... Shell, I read that copper wire is instant death to Tillys!!!!!
