Ben, please place in the right thread if it's not necessary to start a new thread for this New Tillandsia Handbook Hideo Shimizu, Hiroyuki Takizawa To people that want to grow Tillandsia Introduction Regarding the present situation in Japan one has to consider several things before starting to grow Tillandsia. Many people, even planting specialists who are supposed to tell people how to grow plants, misunderstand or do not have enough knowledge about Tillandsia, and therefore there are rather rough guides for growing Tillandsia. Since the previous version of this book was published 5 years ago, the situation has not changed. When we first imported Tillandsia to Japan, we may have emphasized too much, how easy it is - to grow these plants, as we wanted to spread Tillandsia. A catch copy 'Tillandsia grows without any care' was widespread and there was a boom of Tillandsia as a living-room accessory. Many households ended up with mummified Tillandsia that had not been looked after as plants. There is no plant that can grow without care. It is necessary to provide a suitable condition to grow even the easiest-to-take -care-of plants. Actually, usually I do not look after them at all. Only supply water when I have almost forgotten about them. I do sometimes remove dead leaves, or multiply them. I can get away with such fickle care, but it is only because we have suitable conditions for growing Tillandsia. In their natural habitat, they grow without any care. The most important thing is to provide growth conditions similar to their natural habitat. I want to emphasis the following: Tillandsia species that are readily available in Japan are not always strong and easy-to-grow species. Flower shops usually import beautiful species that sell well. But it does not imply whether you can grow them easily. Plants germinate, make new leaves, flower, and reproduce by setting seeds; then repeat their own life cycle. You can say that you are growing plants when you see such a life cycle of plants. Plants generally are sold when they are at their best looks, but this is not the case with Tillandsia. They are sold only at the starting point of growth. Following up from that, this book is aimed at introducing you to the real aspect of Tillandsia. We want you to make an effort to grow Tillandsia species in their best condition, and not only to keep them at the condition when you bought them. To this end, we put photos of flowering plants in this book. In this edition, we describe the altitude of natural habitats as far as we know. This is quite useful information when you grow plants. Generally, plants growing at lower altitudes are easy to grow, - whereas plants growing at altitudes of 2,000 m, 3,000 m or higher, are easily damaged by high temperatures, and are difficult to take care of. Of course, altitude is not the only factor to take into account. However, it is still worth noting and treating the plants accordingly. Among the plants that we can buy in Japan, T.velickiana and plumosa grow at high altitudes, whereas T.ionantha, streptophylla and stricta grow at relatively low altitudes. For your interest, I describe the plants that we have so far been unable to grow: T.wagneriana, lucida, macdougallii, imperialis, multicaulis, prodigiosa and dyeriana. Although all of these are beautiful and you may want to grow them, I recommend not trying these unless you have lots of experience. Apart from these species, we can maintain plants for 3-5 years, so you can do that as well with certain efforts. Growth conditions, the most desirable thing for growing Tillandsia is a good airflow. This is the reason that Tillandsia plants are sometimes called air-plants. If you put them in a closed room or vinyl house with temperatures of 40 or 50 C, even for 1 hour or half a day, they surely will be boiled and will decay. You should be aware that they couldn’t live with cactuses, which prefer such conditions (photo 370). Download flash player samsung tab 10.1. If you still want Tillandsia to grow with succulent plants, it is good to choose a place that is cool in summer and warm in winter. There should be plenty of space between plants, and do not put too many plants in a small room. Actually, Hold Back This Day wasn't originally self-published, but was published by Publish America/America House Publishers. But it turns out that the book was self-published -- no need to worry about offending the Yids. () This publisher is not a self-publisher, and so I DID 'adjust' my novel so that it would have the best chance of being accepted. Here's a link to an online sci-fi book reviewer called 'Baryon Book Reviews' where an old review of Hold Back This Day can be found: If you look just under the title and author name, you'll see that the publisher is not IUniverse, but Publish America. No mainstream publisher today will produce anything even remotely critical of the Jews or Israel. Hold back this day pdf.
