Know before you buy
No, this is an air plant, meaning it absorbs moisture and nutrients through its leaves rather than its roots. You can display it in a decorative bowl, mounted on wood, or simply resting on a shelf without any soil.
The most effective method is to soak the plant in a bowl of room-temperature water for about 20 to 30 minutes once a week. Alternatively, you can mist it thoroughly every few days, but soaking ensures it stays fully hydrated.
We treat our plants to encourage blooming, so there is a high likelihood it will arrive with a bloom or be ready to flower shortly after unboxing. The vibrant fuchsia bloom typically lasts for two to four weeks.
Yes, the Tillandsia Stricta is non-toxic and completely pet-safe. It is a great choice for households with curious pets who like to investigate indoor greenery.
This plant prefers bright, indirect light. A spot near a window with a sheer curtain or a well-lit room away from harsh, direct sun is ideal to keep the foliage healthy and encourage blooming.
