Tillandsia bulbosa Air Plant

This striking architectural air plant features bright green leaves that twist gracefully from a bulbous base—perfect for mounting. When it flowers, the foliage transforms to brilliant scarlet tones, crowned with a red spike of purple tubular blooms. Over time, offsets develop around the base, creating a stunning multi-plant display.

Position: Bright, indirect light works best. Indoors, choose an east or west-facing window. Outdoors, partial shade suits it, though frost protection is essential in cooler climates.

Water every 2–3 days in hot spots, or weekly in cool, humid areas. Mist or dunk for 10–20 minutes, then shake off excess. Air plants must dry completely between waterings—never let water pool at the base.

Care tip: Mount this plant in a well-ventilated spot to prevent base rot, which this species is prone to.
