Know before you buy
No, this is an epiphytic plant, meaning it grows naturally on other surfaces rather than in soil. You can display it mounted on wood, placed in a decorative container, or simply set on a stable surface.
It prefers 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.
While the Tillandsia cyanea 'Summer' is a beautiful addition to your home, it may pose a risk to pets if ingested. It is best to keep it in a location that is inaccessible to curious animals.
This variety is considered low-maintenance. Because it is an air plant, you will primarily need to focus on providing adequate light and regular misting or soaking to keep it hydrated.
This specific cultivar is intended for indoor use only. It is not suited for outdoor conditions and should be kept in a controlled indoor environment to ensure its health.
