Tillandsia Multiple Varieties

Air plant - Multiple varieties

                                          ID#810

 

Tillandsias are bromeliads. They absorb water and nutrients thru the leaves not roots, and require no planting medium.

Each plant only flowers once. After blooming the plants reproduce 1-8 offspring from the side of the mother.


They can tolerate a large range of temperatures and withstand long periods without water.

Hang them anywhere away from direct sun light.
