Tillandsia Paleacea x Tectorum Air Plant

The Paleacea x Tectorum is unique for its dark purple flowers it can produce (bloom). This air plant grows quickly compared to others and can grow clumps in only a few years. Air plants differ greatly from other plants in how they absorb water, as they do not need a root system. Their roots are mainly used to secure them to other plants or rocks for anchoring. Instead, along the leaves of tillandsias are tiny hair-like structures called trichomes. This is how they take in moisture. In air plants that live in dry arid climates, the number of trichomes will be ample, giving the plant that famous silver or white look they are so well-known for. Tillandsia Paleacea x Tectorum is a great Air Plant species, easy to cultivate and very versatile

The Paleacea x Tectorum Air Plant likes good lighting and frequent waterings. Around 4 to 5 inches in size when shipped.
