Know before you buy
Because of its bulbous, closed structure, water can easily become trapped in the base of the leaves. Drying it upside down ensures excess moisture drains away completely, which is critical to preventing rot.
The Tillandsia Seleriana is classified as an intermediate-level plant. While it is not overly demanding, its specific watering and drying requirements require a bit more attention than a standard low-maintenance houseplant.
This variety performs best in bright, indirect light. Avoid placing it in direct, harsh sun, which can scorch the leaves, or in deep shade, which will stunt its growth.
No, this plant is not considered pet-safe. It is best to keep it in a location that is inaccessible to curious cats or dogs.
We treat each plant with organic, cold-pressed Neem Oil as a preventative measure against common pests. This ensures your plant arrives healthy and free of unwanted insects.
The Tillandsia Seleriana is a substantial air plant that can reach a mature height of up to 10 inches. Its bulbous, sculptural form makes it a significant focal point in any plant collection.
