Know before you buy
This is a substantial air plant, typically measuring over 9 inches in width and 12 inches in height. Because of its impressive scale, it works best as a standalone statement piece rather than tucked into a small terrarium.
You should mist or soak your air plant once or twice a week. Ensure it dries completely within a few hours after watering to prevent rot, as air plants need good airflow to thrive.
Yes, Tillandsia Fasciculata is non-toxic and pet-friendly. It is a safe choice for households with curious pets, though you may want to place it out of reach to prevent them from knocking it over or chewing on the leaves.
This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid placing it in direct, harsh sun, which can scorch the leaves, but ensure it gets enough ambient light to maintain its health and encourage that spectacular bloom.
The bloom spike on the 'Tropiflora' is exceptionally long-lasting and can persist for over a year. It is one of the primary reasons this variety is so highly sought after by collectors.
