Tillandsia Ionantha Guatemala

One touch of nature makes the whole world lovely. Make your world elegant and beautiful with the overwhelming tillandsia air plant. Ionantha Guatemalan is an extra adorable air plant features layers of the softest, fuzziest leaves. Absolutely unlike any other air plant. The silvery-white colored fuzz, also known as trichomes, naturally reflects sunlight, which essentially shields the plant from direct sunlight to help it from drying out. Air plants are mostly mistaken for being artificial as they are attractive and require no size. They produce oxygen and reduce dust. They increase the quality of the air and increase the green cover. These plants are known to improve concentration and productivity, reduce stress and boost your mood. Air plants are hardy, vibrant and incredible which can survive without soil and very less water.

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.
