šæ Tillandsia Stricta Air Plant
Easy. Beautiful. One of the best air plants for beginners.
The Tillandsia Stricta is one of the most popular and widely loved air plants in the world ā and for very good reason. Its soft, silvery-green leaves form a neat, compact rosette that is attractive in its own right, and when it blooms it produces a vivid pink flower spike with deep purple tubular flowers that is simply stunning. It is also one of the most forgiving and easy-care Tillandsias available, making it an ideal choice for beginners and experienced collectors alike.
Like all Tillandsias, it requires no soil ā it absorbs all the water and nutrients it needs from the air and occasional misting.
