Air plant - Tillandsia Tectorum

from $17.50

These tillandsias (aka, air plants) are delightful! The Tectorum is a rarer air plant to find, and is one of the best air plants for those who tend to forget to water their plants. Tectorum features silvery-white colored "fuzz", also known as trichomes, which naturally reflects sunlight, essentially shielding the plant from direct sunlight to help it from drying out. Mist this plant 2-3 times weekly and keep out of very-humid environments.

Air plants require no soil, so get creative and have fun with these treasures of the plant world. (See easy care info below.)

Care Instructions

Talk about a hard plant to kill. Tillandsias don’t even require soil. They drink and eat through their “leaves.”

  • Once wet, more water doesn’t do a thing. Wet ‘em and leave ‘em.

  • But be sure to shake off excess water. Do not let water pool in the tillandsia (this will cause rot)

  • To water, simply mist with water bottle about once every week or two.

  • If you missed a cycle, don’t worry, and don’t try to make up for it.

  • Watering too often can make the center area rot, so don’t overfuss.

  • If the tips of leaves are “pinching up” and you haven’t watered recently, it’s time to water.
