Highlights
Tillandsia capitata: A striking epiphytic plant known for its elegant, soft, velvety leaves that range in color from silvery green to a blush of bronze under strong light. Native to Central America, this low-maintenance beauty thrives without soil, absorbing moisture and nutrients through its trichome-covered foliage. Its rosette form adds a sculptural flair to any display, making it perfect for terrariums, wall frames, or hanging arrangements.
Air Plants (Tillandsia) - Care Information
Tillandsias are low-maintenance plants that require no soil, just plenty of water, sunlight, and airflow. There are three main watering strategies: mist generously 3-7 times a week, submerge completely 2-4 times a week, or soak for 1-2 hours once a week. To prevent rot, shake excess water out of crevices and give enough airflow for the plant to dry within 4 hours. Air plants need all the indirect sunlight they can get and should only be kept in low-light rooms temporarily. They can tolerate direct sunlight in the early morning or late afternoon, and it can even bring out brighter pigments in the leaves. Arrange them with sand, sea glass, rocks, or shells, but avoid absorptive materials like soil and moss.
