Know before you buy
Because this is an air plant, it does not grow in soil. Submerge the plant in a bowl of room-temperature water for about 30 to 60 minutes once a week, then gently shake off excess water and place it upside down to dry completely before returning it to its display.
Yes, it thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid placing it in direct, harsh sunlight, which can scorch the leaves, but ensure it is near a window where it can receive plenty of ambient brightness.
No, this plant is not considered pet-safe. It is best to keep it in a location that is inaccessible to cats or dogs who may be prone to chewing on household plants.
After the plant blooms, it will naturally produce 'pups' or offsets at the base. Over time, these pups grow into a cluster, creating a larger, multi-headed specimen rather than remaining a single plant.
The plant is treated with organic Neem Oil as a preventative measure to ensure it is free of pests before it arrives at your home. It is a safe, natural way to maintain the health of the specimen during its transition.
