tillandsia funckiana rot

| Recently I have noticed my air plant isn't doing very well. It's got the characteristic browning that comes with rot, but what am I supposed to do about it? Should I pluck off the rotted areas? Stop watering and let it dry out for a long time? Please help! I don't know what I should do to keep it from dying... |

| I mounted mine on a hanging wood and only mist with weak fertilizer. It tripled in size in 2 years and made it thru the Texas drought looking pretty good.I mist it when it gets the dusty green look. |

| I got a reply from someone who grows and sells them for a living. He said to cut off the rotting parts and dry the rest out, which I'm in the process of doing. I know general care stuff now, it's just I needed the emergency response information. |

| Rot equals wet, so drying it out would be the first step. |

| Yes this one is very sensitive to remaining wet, especially when cold, remove all affected parts, dry out completely and move to a location with very very good airflow. |
