Watering Needs 

When it comes to watering this king of the air plants Tillandsia xerographica, it's important to strike a balance. These air plants prefer to be underwatered rather than overwatered. A good rule of thumb is to mist, soak or rinse them once or twice a week, depending on the humidity of your environment. This stunning air plant gets its moisture from the morning dew instead of traditional roots. 

To water the Tillandsia xerographica, you can either mist it with water using a spray bottle or give it a thorough soak. When misting, make sure to evenly spray the leaves, allowing the water to gently coat them. If you choose to soak your air plant, you can submerge it in a deep bowl or basin of water for about 5 minutes, then let it drain by shaking excess water and dry completely before placing it back on its display. A few good shakes will drain the excess water and will help to protect it from rotting. 

Additionally, rinsing is indeed a great method for watering Tillandsia xerographica air plants. Giving them a gentle rinse under running water is an effective way to hydrate them. Just make sure to thoroughly wet the leaves, allowing the water to reach all parts of the plant. After rinsing with lukewarm water, hold your healthy plant upside down and let the excess water drain off and allow the plant to dry completely before placing it back in its display. This method helps mimic the natural rainfall that these plants would receive in their native habitats. 

Remember, it's important to avoid letting water sit in the center of the plant, as this can lead to rot. After watering, make sure to shake off any excess water and allow the plant to dry within a few hours. Providing proper air circulation is key to preventing any moisture buildup.

Light Requirements 

When it comes to light requirements, xerographica air plants are sun-loving epiphytes that prefer bright, indirect light for at least 4-6 hours daily. These plants thrive in a spot where they can receive ample amounts of filtered sunlight throughout the day. It's best to avoid placing them in direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as it can potentially scorch their delicate leaves. 

To provide the ideal lighting conditions, you can place your Tillandsia xerographica near a west-facing window with sheer curtains or window space in a location where it can receive bright light. This will help mimic the natural conditions these air plants would experience in their native habitats. 

Remember to observe your air plant closely and make adjustments to its placement if you notice any signs of stress, such as leaf discoloration or wilting of the green leaves. Finding the right balance of light is essential for the health and well-being of your Tillandsia xerographica air plant. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

When it comes to soil, Tillandsia xerographica air plants don't require soil like other plants. They are epiphytic plants, which means they naturally grow on other surfaces and absorb nutrients and moisture from the air. Instead of soil, you can mount or place your Tillandsia xerographica on a piece of driftwood, bark, or other decorative surfaces. 

As for fertilizer, Tillandsia xerographica air plants have minimal nutritional needs. They can absorb nutrients directly from the air and rainfall. However, if you want to give them a little boost, you can use a specialized air plant bromeliad fertilizer or natural fertilizer with an equal mix of NPK. Apply the fertilizer sparingly, about once a year during the growing season. 

Remember, air plants are adapted to survive in nutrient-poor environments, so it's crucial not to over-fertilize them. Providing them with the right mounting surface and occasional light feeding will help keep your Tillandsia xerographica air plant healthy and thriving. They also are among the easiest air plants to grow in the home. 

Hardiness Zone & More

Tillandsia xerographica air plants are native to tropical regions and are typically found in USDA hardiness zones 10-11, which means they thrive in warm climates with minimum temperatures above 30°F.  

In terms of temperature, for Tillandsia xerographica air plants, the ideal temperature range is between 60°F and 80°F. They can tolerate slightly higher temperatures, but it's important to avoid exposing them to extreme heat or cooler temperatures. 

When it comes to humidity, these air plants prefer moderate to high humidity levels. They are adapted to tropical environments where humidity is naturally higher. To provide the optimal humidity for your Tillandsia xerographica, you can mist them with water a few times a week or place them in a humid location, such as a bathroom or near a humidifier. 

By providing the appropriate hardiness zone, temperature range, and humidity levels, you can create a favorable environment for your Tillandsia xerographica air plants to thrive and grow beautifully.

Lovely
Format: Paperback
"Because God does not change and his kindness does not end, though the mountains shift and whole worlds crumble, and to actually believe this means to live a different kind of life from one tossed and overturned by news of every new disaster." Love the Clarkson family's books and stories. Such a wonderful way with words. I disagree with some of the theology but still consider this a good read.

Attending to the inmost places of our heart
Format: Paperback
Sarah Clarkson’s newest book, “Reclaiming Quiet” is a masterful journey into the heart of what it means to be quiet before the Lord. I was hooked by the foreword and by the end of the first chapter, I was thinking of numerous friends I wanted to share this book with. We live in a noisy, attention-distracting world and it’s far too easy to get sucked into one activity after another without one thought of being still, of finding the rest and restoration that our mind, body and soul crave. Sarah’s writing draws the reader in with the loveliest of vignettes from her life as a Vicar’s wife, mother of 4 and author. Her writing is lyrically gorgeous-each story comes alive by her excellent word choice and vivid descriptions. She shares her struggles with OCD and really gets to the heart of what it means to find quiet in the midst of the busyness of each day. This is not a how-to or another step-by -step book, but more of a path that will guide the reader into thoughtful pondering of what it means to be still -to make time to sit quietly and commune with our Creator. A favorite quote from her book: “One of the great gifts that comes to us when we choose to step away from the chorus and listen to the Holy Spirit, is a capacity for conviction and courage. We need to attend in the inmost places of our hearts, where God speaks…We need to listen from the inside.” Reclaiming Quiet would make an excellent book club selection for a small group or to explore on your own-you won’t be disappointed. I can see this becoming a bestseller.

American Bullies at Bretton Woods
Format: Hardcover
There, I said it, and I am an American. I had heard of the conference but never read about it, and certainly had never heard of Harry Dexter White, but this book goes to great length to explain what happened in this important meeting as World War II was drawing to a close and a plan needed to be developed for a new world order regarding the flows of money to facilitate trade and avoid economic disruptions that the world had seen far too much of. Steil presents more information on John Maynard Keynes than his American antithesis, Harry Dexter White, and for good reason. Keynes was simply one of the most, if not the most, brilliant intellectuals of the 20th century. His theories of economics were evolving through his life, but he is most remembered for his idea that government stimulus could help alleviate a faltering economy when the private sector failed to do the job, and he was opposed as he said to the "gold cage" that for years had been the standard of international finance. He had a biting wit, coupled with a superior intelligence that far outshone his meager appearance (he was ugly, and knew it) but he was cast in the role of a diplomat to present the case for England as the world entered the post war period. The problem was that England was broke. She had endured two world wars in the space of 30 years and the empire was begging for funds from Washington, and most of her debt to the US from the Great War was still unpaid. She also had an enemy in FDR, who was determined that the imperial preference of England after the war was to be no more. Her crown jewel, India, was pressing for independence and the empire was in the process of unwinding, as was the strength of the British sterling. Keynes pressed to have the new institutions of the World Bank and the IMF located in London, and the Americans under the leadership of White simply said "hell no." Enter Harry Dexter White. The name is as deceptive as the individual. He was a son of Jewish immigrants, graduating from Harvard late in life, but brilliant in his intellect and determined that America would rule by the strenght of the dollar and Britain was to be no more as a world power. It was interesting to me to see the Treasury Department so powerful over this whole thing. You may think that the Department of State would have more of an influence because these were important global decisions, but their input was minimal. Regardless, White was a Soviet sympathizer and was just in the process of getting raked over the coals when he died early after the war from a heart attack. Keynes also died at the age of 62, not long after the war. The world remember Keynes and White is more of a footnote. I personally did not like White. He reminded me of a Himmler with his rim glasses and nasty litte mustache. As for his boss, Henry Morganthau, Secretary of Treasury, he was little better. His idiotic plan to strip Germany of all industrial capability after the war and turn it into a nation of small farms was leaked to the press and Goebbels made hay of it, likely resulting in many more American casualities toward the end of the war. Just goes to show that FDR used some strange people in his administration. Thank God his selection of generals was far better. America was brutal toward the British at Bretton Woods. We often think of the English speaking peoples uniting and working together in true harmony to defeat the fascist nations. That is a myth and this book helps bust it. It shows to me how inhuman America was to our British allies, who bore much of the battle of this war alone, with little hope of survival. It is said that when Winston Churchill learned of the attack on Pearl Harbor, he knew that England would win the war and when he retired, he slept like a baby. Little did he know that the selfishness of the U.S. government would put a boot on the neck of England after the war. Churchill once said that the Germans were either at your throat or under your foot. The later part of that pertains to the American response to England toward the end of the war and after. A good book. Great information, and highly recommended.

A great book for anyone interested in US foreign policy, history, or economics
Format: Hardcover
In July of 1944 representatives from forty-four nations gathered at the Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods, NH to establish the rules for the post World War II international monetary system. Although nations from around the globe were at the table, the primary debate was between the United States and Great Britain. The U.S. was determined to advance a policy ensuring the dollar reigned supreme in world trade, thus guaranteeing American dominance. The British were holding out for a monetary system that would not relegate them to a secondary status after the war. Representing the two great nations were two men. For the U.S. it was a little-known economist working as an assistant to the Secretary of Treasury, Harry Dexter White, and representing the British was world-known economist John Maynard Keynes. Benn Steil examines the Bretton Woods conference, and the inter-war years leading up to it, using these two men as a backdrop. Not only is the work well researched, but as a senior fellow and director of international economics at the Council on Foreign Relations, Steil is eminently qualified to make economic judgements. Steil’s thoroughness and expertise combine to make an enjoyable read of what could otherwise be an exceptionally dry topic. The main argument Steil makes is that the dominance of dollar in the post WWII economy was a fait accompli at Bretton Woods. Mr. Steil introduces the reader to the relatively unknown Harry Dexter White, a minor player at the U.S. Treasury commanding great influence. Steil shows the reader that going into Bretton Woods, White and his boss, Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau, were committed to bringing President Roosevelt’s New Deal to the rest of the world. Part of this plan was to shift power not only from London, but from Wall Street as well, to the U.S. Treasury. White was convinced international banking had played a key role in creating the instability responsible for WWII. A new gold standard tied to the U.S. dollar would ensure stability in White’s view. Ultimately White’s ideas led to the creation of “the three so-called Bretton Woods institutions: the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Trade Organization (WTO), and the World Bank” (Steil, The Battle of Bretton Woods, 127). Adding intrigue to economics Steil also shows through declassified F.B.I. documents and recently discovered writings by White, that White was an agent of the Soviet Union. Keynes is often regarded as “the first-ever international celebrity economist” (Steil, The Battle of Bretton Woods, 3). While this may be true, he was no match for the little-known White. White (and Morgenthau) considered the British a threat on the economic stage and made sure their Lend-Lease terms would bankrupt the U.K. by the end of the war and bring them to the bargaining table. As well as being an interesting historical read, and a useful primer on international monetary policy, Steil captures the importance of economic policy in relation to foreign policy. Morgenthau and White realized the power of the U.S. to inflict its will upon other nations was rooted in the power of the dollar. Today as then, U.S. power flows from the economy. Students of modern U.S. foreign policy would be wise to have a basic understanding of U.S. economic policy and how the U.S. economy interacts in the global system.
