You do not need to provide a water source for air plants in a design, but it does look better if you detail them before adding it into the design
Reach into the Tillandsia plant. Grasp a leaf. Pull outward making sure you do not reposition or rub the plant so that the powdery outer layer on the leaf remains undamaged.
Remove the entire leaf
Remove the fluff from a cotton pod
Remove the seed and pull the cotton to create a thin piece
Roll the Tillandsia
And smooth the cotton around the leaf end
Neatly finishing the leaf off
