Watering Needs

As they thrive well in dry conditions, these Tillandsia streptophylla do not need frequent watering. It prefers misting or gentle rinsing that reaches the base of the leaves and the center of the rosette. You can mist them a couple of times a week if the climate is mild. On the contrary, if you live in dry arid regions, it is best to soak your Shirley Temple in water for five minutes once every week! Do not forget to let the curly plant dry out after watering to prevent rot. Remember, it's better to underwater than overwater this curly succulent plant. 

After watering, make sure to shake off any excess water and allow your Tillandsia to dry in a well-ventilated area. It will absorb the morning dew drops through its leaves or trichomes. If given less moisture, its leaves curl inwards. 

It's important to monitor the humidity levels in your environment, and local weather conditions as it can affect the watering needs of Tillandsia Streptophylla. If the air is too dry, you can provide additional humidity by misting the plant more frequently or placing it near a humidifier. 

Light Requirements 

Tillandsia streptophyllaplants grow at their best in indoor settings. They prefer moderate to bright indirect sunlight. Avoid placing them outside in direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. This Shirley temple does well in spaces with bright, filtered light, such as near a window with a sheer curtain or in a well-lit room. 

If you're unsure about the light levels in your space, you can observe the plant's leaves. If they start to turn brown or yellow, it may be an indication that the light is too intense. On the other hand, if the leaves become elongated and stretch toward the light source, it may be a sign that it needs more light. 

Remember, each plant is unique, so it's important to find the right balance of light for your Tillandsia Streptophylla. If you notice any changes in the plant's appearance, you can adjust its placement accordingly. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

Tillandsia Streptophylla is an air plant that doesn't require soil. It actually absorbs nutrients and moisture through its leaves. Instead of soil, you can place the plant in a well-draining container or attach it to a piece of driftwood, cork, or other decorative objects. This allows the plant to thrive in a variety of creative displays. 

When it comes to fertilizing your Shirley temple, it's important to use a specialized air plant fertilizer. These fertilizers are formulated to provide the necessary nutrients without harming your succulent. You can dilute the fertilizer according to the instructions on the package and apply it to the plant's leaves during its regular watering routine. However, be careful not to over-fertilize, as it can lead to damage or burn the Tillandsia plant. 

Remember, air plants like Tillandsia Streptophylla are low-maintenance and don't require frequent fertilization. 

Hardiness Zone & More 

The Tillandsia Streptophylla is native to Central America and thrives in warm and tropical climates. It is generally recommended for hardiness zones 9-11, which are regions with mild winters and high temperatures year-round. These air plants prefer temperatures between 60°F and 80°F.

Interesting take on the genre
Format: Kindle
True rating: 3.25 ⭐️ I enjoyed the fresh take on the genre. The best way I could describe the setting and world is an apocalyptic dystopian version of Farie where vampires, fae, and angles struggle to survive in what is left of the world. It was definitely interesting throwing the academy/hunger games aspect into this world as well. Even though I guessed the final reveal early on in the book, I kept hoping I was wrong, and it would take a surprising turn. While the "plot twists" were a bit predictable to me, I still enjoyed the ride this book took me on. Another downfall for me was the plot holes in the world building... I.E. if society has fallen and the world is in the aftermath of war, how are there trains running around the world? Just to take young adults to the trials to get into the golden city? How is the train maintained, the tracks clear, etc? However, I did enjoy the FMC & MMC and thought they were fleshed out nicely. I also enjoyed the side characters but wish some were developed more like Ashalin (sp?). I do find myself rooting for the MCs to succeed and find happiness together, which is obviously an important aspect for romantasy. Overall, was this an earth-shattering, mind-bending, terrific piece of literature? No. But was it the worst thing I've read this year? Also, no. This book has, to me, the bones of a great read & just needs a bit more to push it from an alright book to a great book. Overall ratings: Plot- 3.5⭐️ World building 3⭐️ Spice 2.5 🌶🌶 Main characters 4 ⭐️ Supporting characters 3.5⭐️

great book
Format: Kindle
I am really excited to meet the author at the book retreat this month. I really enjoyed this world that she built and most of the female main character Huntress is so awesome. She goes through a lot in this book and the ending; wow! I wouldn't have even guessed. I highly recommend everyone to read this book. I have been so lucky this year that almost all the books I have read have been, so far, 5 out 5 stars.

Fallen for the Fallen Angel – A Guilty Pleasure Worth Every Page
Format: Kindle
There’s something deeply irresistible about a dark academia or trial-based setting, a brooding and arrogant fallen angel, and a fierce heroine with enough sass to go toe-to-toe with him. Wings So Wicked is exactly that kind of book—and I devoured it in just a couple of days. To be fair, the plot isn’t groundbreaking. If you’re looking for something fresh and innovative in terms of storyline, this might not be it. But if your reader heart beats faster at the mere mention of enemies-to-lovers, jealousy-fueled banter, magical trials, betrayals, and forbidden tension—you’ll feel right at home. It’s like catnip for those of us with this particular weakness. The chemistry between the leads could have used a slightly slower burn to make the tension sizzle longer, but I still found myself completely invested in their dynamic. There are moments and phrases that feel a bit cheesy or underdeveloped, but honestly? I didn’t care. The vibes were exactly what I wanted. This book isn’t trying to reinvent the genre—it’s here to give readers like me what we crave: high-stakes magical drama, angsty romance, and the thrill of watching a badass girl and her brooding counterpart clash and spark. If that sounds like your kind of story, Wings So Wicked will hit the mark. Here’s hoping Book 2 turns up the heat and keeps the magic alive.

my new favorite book
Format: Kindle
Ok so I never write reviews but this book was so good I felt the need to write this. Firstly your introduced to Huntyr you see her closed off hard core badass than towards the end you see the most subtle change and growth it’s amazing and the enemies to friends to lovers was just perfect, AND THE TWIST AT THE END GOT ME GOOD! You see one spicy scene the whole book but it doesn’t even MATTER BECAUSE THE BOOK WAS THAT GOOD. I’ve read 85 books in 2023-2024 so far and I’m pround to say this is my all time favorite. I’m so excited to read more of Emily Blackwoods books, this was my first time reading one of hers and I’m glad I did because HOLY!! Well done Emily well done

Fast paced romantasy you will not want to put down!
Format: Kindle
4.25 stars! I LOVED this book with similar vibes to Hush Hush, Fourth Wing, and The Serpent and the Wings of Night! It was fast paced with easy world building and will keep you turning the pages late into the night because you will not want to put it down! Huntyr is a fierce bad@ss FMC trained to kill vampyres her entire life. She is sent on a mission to go to the academy and earn her spot into The Golden City. Upon arrival, she is forced to room with the delicious fallen angel, Wolf, who is the only one who knows about her assassin identity. The romance, the plot twists, the secrets revealed, the battles, and the tantalizing training scenes had me hooked! And that ending…. I’m holding my breath in need to know hell! Read if you love: 🪽 Fae, Vampyres, Fallen Angels 🪽 Academy setting with magical trials 🪽 Forced proximity and slow burn 🪽 Rivals to lovers 🪽 Hidden identities and secrets 🪽 Tend your wounds “𝘖𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶.
