I liked the idea of having all my collection in one place however the cost per card $4.99 or $9.99 is outrageous. If I could pay a flat rate for the app I’d say it’s worth it. If you need to know how to care for a particular plant this would be beneficial but to use it for tracking purposes which is what I wanted it for would be way too pricy. ### 3/5 — It’s ok *2021-05-24, version 2.1* It’s a good app, but the only identification cards that are free are the most common types of air plants. I already knew the names of the common ones that I have, so it didn’t help me much. It only helped me identify 1 of my air plants. To get the rest of the identification cards you have to pay $10. That seems like a lot to me. I think they should lower the price because that’s a lot for just a few names. ### 5/5 — Super helpful *2020-07-17, version 2.1* This information is super helpful to have. I wish the same info was available for orchids and carnivorous plants as well. I wish it had an actual temperature range for the plant ( min and max tolerable) instead of a thermometer symbol. ### 3/5 — Few tillandsias *2016-05-22, version 1.0* Only a few but a nice start. ## Frequently asked questions about Air Plant Tilli ### What is Air Plant Tilli-Cards?
