Know before you buy
These air plants thrive with a weekly soak. Simply submerge them in room-temperature water for about 30 to 60 minutes, then shake off the excess moisture and let them dry completely upside down to prevent rot.
Yes, their structure makes them perfect for mounting. You can use a non-toxic, waterproof adhesive like E6000 or floral wire to secure the base to driftwood, shells, or decorative stones.
They prefer bright, indirect light. A spot near a window with filtered sunlight is ideal, as direct, harsh sun can scorch their silvery leaves.
Consider the scale of your display. The small/mini sizes are perfect for tabletop vignettes or terrariums, while the jumbo size makes a dramatic statement piece on its own or as the focal point of a larger arrangement.
Being farm-raised means these plants are cultivated in a controlled environment rather than harvested from the wild. This ensures a consistent, healthy product while supporting sustainable practices.
When mature and well-cared for, the Xerographica produces a spectacular, long-lasting inflorescence. The bloom typically features vibrant colors that contrast beautifully with the plant's silvery, rosette-shaped foliage.
