Description
Contemporary Living Art Inspired by Nature
Showcase the fascinating beauty of Tillandsia balbisiana in our handcrafted Spiral Metal Wire Hanger, a modern display designed to highlight the plant's naturally twisting leaves while creating the illusion that it is floating in mid-air.
The elegant spiral design frames the air plant without restricting its growth, allowing light and air to circulate freely around the foliage. Whether displayed in a bright apartment balcony, office, living room or covered patio, this striking combination of sculptural metalwork and living greenery becomes an instant conversation piece.
Every display is individually handcrafted and paired with a carefully selected Tillandsia balbisiana, creating a unique piece of Living Art that continues to grow and change over time.
About the Included Tillandsia balbisiana
Included with every spiral hanger is a healthy Tillandsia balbisiana, one of the most distinctive air plants in the Tillandsia family.
Native to Central America, Mexico and the Caribbean, Tillandsia balbisiana is recognised for its long, curling green leaves that resemble twisting ribbons. During flowering, the plant produces an attractive red flower spike followed by delicate purple blooms, making it one of the most eye-catching air plants available.
Because it naturally grows attached to tree branches, it requires no soil, absorbing water and nutrients directly through its leaves.
For complete growing advice, watering schedules and flowering information, visit our Tillandsia balbisiana Plant Species Library.

Caring for Your Tillandsia balbisiana
Keeping your Living Art display healthy is simple.
Light
Hang where the plant receives early morning sunlight followed by bright indirect light throughout the day.
Watering
For Nairobi, Thika, Kiambu, Athi River, Nakuru and Eldoret, spray the plant daily.
For Mombasa, Diani, Kilifi, Watamu and Malindi, watering every other day is generally sufficient because of the naturally higher humidity.
Allow the plant to dry completely before nightfall.
Fertiliser
Apply NHance Seaweed Fertiliser every two weeks to promote healthy foliage and flowering.
Leaf Care
Wipe the leaves gently once a month using diluted Achook Neem Oil to help keep the foliage clean and healthy.
