Description: About Our Tectorum EcuadorOne of the most sought-after tillandsia that we have! An adorable easy-care plant. The trichomes create a bright white appearance. The inflorescence (spike) is purple with lavender blooms. Tillandsia Tectorum likes to be misted lightly daily in a drier climate if there isn't sufficient dew in the morning or a mid level of humidity. It needs to dry rather quickly so a light to medium mist is sufficient. It does not do well in high heat with heavy humidity since it needs to dry sufficiently. Make sure it gets lots of air circulation if outdoors in humid conditions. More About Air PlantsAir plants are easy-care house plants in the genus Tillandsia. Air plants are unique because they do not need soil to grow. They are epiphyte plants native to Central and South America. They only need light, water and air to survive. They are great for small spaces, as accents, home decor or party favors. The options are unlimited – Tillandsia can stand alone or pair with an accessory such as a terrarium, ceramic hanger, cork bark, driftwood, and more! Air plants also make great gifts – They are the gift that keeps giving! Air plants reproduce by producing offsets or “pups” from the base of the plant after they show off their spectacular bloom. Every order comes with care instructions. Multiple UsesAir plants add beauty to indoor and outdoor spaces. Place them in terrariums, wall planters, containers, globes and use them to stylize vertical gardens displays. As a succulent alternative, Tillandsia (air plants) can decorate events like weddings, birthdays, for Easter and Christmas. Use them as party favors, Mother's Day gifts, centerpieces or as unique gifts.
