I know that to Tillandsia do not take any form of nutrition or energy from the host plant. But do they do better when they're with a host plant than when they are by themselves?

Excellent question! The advantage of a host plant for a Tillandsia in the wild is about maintaining humidity. After it rains in a normally dry habitat, it will stay wetter for a longer period of time around trees or bushes than it will out in the open. For the home environment though, this doesn't mean much, especially if you're misting your Tillandsia regularly.
