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. It can tolerate slightly higher temperatures but may struggle in extreme heat or cold. It's important to protect your Shirley Temple plant from frost or freezing temperatures, as it is not frost-tolerant.

To provide optimal humidity, you can mist it with water regularly or place it in a humid location such as a bathroom or near a humidifier. However, be careful not to overwater the plant, as it can lead to rot or other issues.

The banter was bantering, and the slow burn was 🔥🥵🌶️🙌🏻
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Two enemies, one desperate bargain, and an attraction that could ultimately destroy them both? I don’t know about you guys, but this was the perfect recipe for an all-night, feet kicking the air read! This book has it all: 🖤 Necromancer X Runewitch ⚔️ Norse Mythology 🖤 Deadly Quest ⚔️ OCD Rep 🖤 Enemies-to-lovers ⚔️ Morally Gray MCs 🖤 Reluctant Allies ⚔️ Feminine Rage 🔥 A slow burn so good you’ll be begging for more! What I loved: 🖤 The unique world-building. I’ve read a lot of witchy reads before, and they usually follow the same pattern, however, involving descendants of dragons (Fireborn) and Necromancers really created a unique spin to the witchy market. The rune magic system was intriguing, and in action, I found myself completely enamored with it and Thraga. 🖤 The OCD representation. Let’s be honest, if you don’t have OCD, you don’t often think about it, but to those who do experience OCD, even in minor forms, seeing a FMC with OCD was refreshing and added layers to her character. Thraga has been through so much trauma, and it translates into her OCD, showing her need to have control over some aspect of her life and body, when in reality, her OCD has taken complete control of her. Throughout the story, Durlain helps her to realize just how much the OCD (and other “things”) have taken away from her ability to truly be free. It is one of the most endearing arcs I have read in a while. 🖤 The tension and banter. This wouldn’t be a highly ranked read for me without the perfect balance of tension and toe curling banter. This is a SLOW BURN, but it is so perfectly paced and balanced. When things finally combust (and boy, do they), it is so tremendously satisfying that you don’t even care how long it took to get to that point. It was earned in every way. I highly recommend this book to any romantasy and paranormal romance enthusiast. It hits all of the right marks, and the ending will have you staring at the wall. I am going to be incredibly surprised if this doesn’t get picked up by a traditional publisher at some point, it was that good! Final rating: 4.5 ⭐️ 1.75 🌶️ 🚨 Check TWs 🚨

An Unforgettable Fantasy Read
Format: Paperback
⭐️3.75/5 stars ⭐️ I can’t, in good faith, talk about this book without mentioning the end. If you are a reader who despises cliffhangers, you might want to add this to your TBR (and you’re going to want to read it) until the sequel is announced, because I am STILL reeling over that ending. This cliffhanger is the cliff that keeps on giving. It’s going to stay with me until the day I get to read Book 2. Why are you going to want to read The Death-Made Prince anyway? First and foremost is the world that Lisette Marshall has created with such a unique and refreshing magic system! I was hooked from the first mention of runes and necromancy. Linguistics is a subject that has always fascinated me, both in reality and in fantasy. Seeing Thraga’s runic witchcraft described as a formulaic language made both my mathematician and reader hearts throb with anticipation. Moreover, I loved Marshall’s take on necromancy - I didn’t realize how literal the “death-made” title for Durlain would be! In The Death-Made Prince, Marshall really does combine a variety of magical elements to create a fantasy world that is hard to leave. But what also makes The Death-Made Prince hard to ignore are the characters. Thraga and Durlain both have their tragic backstories, but it’s what lies beyond their backstories that truly make them stand out. Thraga is a runewitch with OCD and anxiety, and I just have to say that the representation is ON POINT. On the other hand, Durlain is a loveable black cat MMC who tries so hard to be an idiot (and does succeed). While their enemies-to-lovers relationship is a slow, slow, SLOW burn, it makes it all worth it in the “end.” The banter between them is top-notch and had me hooked and invested throughout. There were times when their banter was the only thing that kept me reading. The first 50% was slow and I had some trouble staying invested. BUT, I will encourage any reader who looks at my review to STICK WITH IT. The last 20-30% of the book made it oh so worth it. It really picks up once Durlain and Thraga arrive at the Dawn House (iykyk), featuring secrets, lies, and espionage. Oh, and of course the sexual tension. From then on, the plot moved quickly, and I couldn’t put my Kindle down. And then, there was the cliffhanger. But you already knew that. All in all, The Death-Made Prince introduced a fantasy world that I am loath to leave (even if for a little bit). While the beginning was slow and seemed to drag on, the end was amazing and I do not, and never will, regret reading it. Catch me again when Book 2 is announced… Thank you to Lisette Marshall and the team at Behind the Pages for letting me read an early copy of The Death-Made Prince! I’m honored to give my honest thoughts on this book and support its release.

amazing characters
Format: Kindle
These characters were fascinating. They were very damaged but also strong survivors. There was a sarcastic banter between them which I loved. The female lead grew from seeing herself as small but by the end she recognized her many strengths-which she will need to use to escape after a betrayal by the make lead. Best book that I have read in long time.

thorn of mine and in my side
Format: Kindle
This book really was a thorn in my side because I was spite reading until 60% though simply so I didn’t have to DNF it. Look. I read 2-3 books a week and it took me a week and a half to trudge through this. I don’t know why everyone is freaking out about how good it is because it’s not original, it’s boring, is so confusing, and literally put me to sleep more times than I can count. This is a 2.5⭐️ book rounded up because once I made it to 60% there was enough going on that I could follow it and my interest peaked enough to not DNF. I fear for the next book because this one needs work. I still don’t know who is who or what kingdom they belong to. Truly, this was not set up or executed well. I did however, truly love when he started calling her “thorn of mine”. I thought that was toxic cuteness at its finest. But wow, what a mess.
