Description
šæ Tillandsia Schiedeana Air Plant
Fine, graceful leaves. Soft yellow blooms. Quietly beautiful.
The Tillandsia Schiedeana is a graceful and elegant air plant with long, fine, arching leaves that give it a soft, feathery quality quite different from the bolder Tillandsia species. It is a plant of quiet, understated beauty ā and when it blooms, it produces delicate yellow tubular flowers that are a lovely surprise against the silvery-green foliage.
Like all Tillandsias, it requires no soil ā it absorbs all the water and nutrients it needs from the air and occasional misting, making it one of the most versatile and low-maintenance plants you can own.
