Oh my poor Tilly!

My brother and his wife got me a tillandsia plant (aka airplant) back when I moved to my new house. It's really neat how its roots do not go in soil, rather it lives in the air. I've been spraying it with a water mister, but apparently not often enough. I finally did more in-depth research today and I feel so bad! I've been doing my Tilly wrong. Sorry, Tilly. I promise to submerge you in water 2-3 times a week so you feel like you went through a rainfall. Here's how Tilly looks today, and I'll update you in a few weeks with an 'after' shot. I read, too, that they will grow 'pups', meaning a long, colorful bloom. (all that brown part is not supposed to be there)
