Tillandsia arhiza paraguay Air Plant

Tillandsia arhiza is a striking air plant from Paraguay with silvery, velvet-textured leaves and fragrant purple flowers that bloom on tall spikes.

Thrives outdoors in bright, indirect light,under trees, verandahs, or shadehouses. Indoors, place near a bright window. Needs good air flow to dry between waterings. Can tolerate cold but must be protected from frost.

Suspend or mount on non-water-retaining surfaces like timber or cork bark using wire, fishing line, or adhesive (silicone, hot glue). Never cover the base with moss,this causes rot.

Water every 2–3 days in hot spots; once weekly in cool, humid conditions. Mist or dunk for 10–20 minutes, then shake off excess. Let dry completely between waterings. Never allow water to pool at the base.
