Know before you buy
No, this is an air plant and does not include a pot. You can display it by mounting it on wood, placing it in a decorative shell, or simply resting it in a glass vessel.
No, this plant is not considered pet-safe. It is best to keep it in an area that your cats or dogs cannot reach.
We treat each plant with organic cold-pressed Neem Oil before shipping to ensure it arrives pest-free and in optimal health. You may notice a slight residue or scent, which is normal and safe for the plant.
This plant requires bright, indirect light and high humidity to thrive. Because it is an intermediate-level plant, be sure to provide regular misting or soaking and ensure it has excellent air circulation to prevent rot.
Your Tillandsia Stricta will arrive as a medium-sized plant. While it has a natural clumping habit, it will take time and proper care for it to mature into the dense, bushy clusters seen in full-grown specimens.
Those are trichomes, which are specialized scales that help the plant absorb moisture and nutrients from the air. They give the leaves their soft, velvety appearance and are a sign of a healthy air plant.
