Tillandsia Air Plant Mix - 8cm size / 8cm tall
This Tillandsia air plant is for the empty perch you've been keeping for something properly interesting. A little sculptural creature that gets to live above the compost-based chaos going on everywhere else.
The biggest size selection in this air-plant group gives you a lovely starting point for an open display. Exact shapes vary because these are mixed Tillandsias, but that is part of the pleasure: you're adopting an individual character rather than ordering identical ornaments.
Many Tillandsias grow on trees or rocks in the Americas. They belong to the pineapple family, and their leaves absorb water and nutrients through specialised scales. Some species also change colour around flowering, and air plants can produce little offsets, known as pups. Plenty to keep an attentive plant parent interested.
I would let the silhouette do the work. Give it space around the leaves, good light and a display you can easily lift it from when it's time for a drink. Always let it dry afterwards.
One air plant from the mixed selection, ready to take up residence. Flowers and particular species are part of nature's timing, rather than a promise in the parcel.
