Hey, since I'm new to ~live plants~ I was wondering how you 'glue' them on? Is that literal or a fancy term I dont know yet?=D

Air plants [the most commonly available species of Tillandsia bromeliads] are literally hot-glued to dry surfaces. They don't form much in the way of roots, and often live on sunny, exposed rock and branch surfaces, where any stem or root is tough and woody and suitable for gluing. In nature, they typically get a good dose of water and humidity daily, combined with a hot dry mid-day. The need similar conditions in a terrarium, as they will mold in constant dampness, or shrivel in constant dryness.
