One touch of nature makes the whole world lovely. Make your world elegant and beautiful with the overwhelming air plants. The Tillandsia Bulbosa truly is a dark beauty of an air plant. It features lovely tendrils that are a gorgeous shade of deep green that appear to move and wave as you admire it. The Tillandsia Bulbosa is a beautiful addition to any home or office. Its leaves are flat and form a fun bulbous shape at its base and wind out to its long outstretched arms. Its base leaves are often highlighted with a lovely shade of plum and will produce a bright red bloom and bright violet petals. After the Bulbosa has flowered, it will produce plant babies called Pups. Pups should not be removed until it is half to two-thirds the size of its mother.
Maintenance
Spray water once a week and keep away from direct sunlight. Place your air plants near a window. Air plants prefer warm temperatures around 15 to 30 degree celsius. Providing artificial lighting is helpful if your plants lack a bright corner, in the house.
Pet Note
You can propagate tillandsia from seed, but it takes two to four years to grow the plant to a suitable size for enjoyment. The best way to propagate tillandsia is through the division of the offsets or pups. The time to do the task is during the morning hours or early afternoon. It thrives in warm, humid conditions but will do just fine in dry, desert-like environments with regular mistings. You can also run them under a bit of water if they appear to be particularly dry. It thrives with indirect sunlight. All day direct sunlight will lead to the plant over-drying and the tips burning. The Tillandsia does not require any soakings, only mistings 2-3 times a week. It also loves fluorescent lighting making them ideal for office environments.
