Tillandsia bulbosa
Air Plant
Description
Tillandsia bulbosa, also known as the bulbous air plant, is an epiphytic plant native to Central and South America. This unique air plant is characterized by its bulbous base, which can range in color from green to a reddish-purple, and its slender, twisting leaves that give it a distinctive, tentacle-like appearance. Tillandsia bulbosa does not require soil; instead, it absorbs moisture and nutrients from the air. Place in a bright, indirect light location and water thoroughly by soaking the plant in water for 20-30 minutes once every one to two weeks. After soaking, be sure to shake off excess water to prevent rot. Tillandsia bulbosa is a low-maintenance plant that is well-suited for terrariums or displayed in decorative arrangements. Air circulation is important. When it blooms, it produces a vibrant inflorescence. The care of this plant is easy.
