Know before you buy
No, the nursery pots are primarily for safe transit. Because Tillandsia are air plants, they do not require soil or pots to thrive and can be displayed on shelves, in decorative bowls, or mounted on wall displays.
To keep them healthy, mist the leaves 3 to 4 times per week. Ensure they are in a spot with good airflow so they can dry out completely between waterings, which prevents rot.
These plants thrive in bright, indirect light. Avoid placing them in direct, harsh sunlight, which can scorch their leaves, or in windowless rooms with no natural light.
Yes, Tillandsia varieties are generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs. However, it is always a good practice to keep them out of reach to prevent curious pets from chewing on the foliage.
Because these are living specimens, natural variations in size, shape, and color are expected. Each plant is unique, so your set will have its own distinct character.
