Tillandsia ionantha v. predator

Native to the humid climates of Mexico and Central & South America, this air plant is a beautiful visually striking species that is perfect for beginners. It grows a bit bigger than other ionantha cultivars, and the gradient from red to green stays smooth & vibrant year-round. 

If you're not familiar with air plants, they grow on the bark and stems of trees and other plants, and do not need soil -- as their name suggests, they grow in the air! Consistent rainfall and humid conditions keep these plants well-watered, and helps them root into moist tree bark, feeding them more nutrients than rainfall and air can provide. However, they're perfectly happy growing in your home hanging from a wire, standing in a cup or vase, or displayed however you like! 

Keep your air plant in medium to bright indirect light, and in a place that gets consistent air flow. There are many methods of watering air plants, from soaking them in warm water baths, to spritzing them with spray bottles, to running them under your faucet. We personally recommend spritzing your air plants thoroughly 2 times a week and drying them upside down to avoid trapping water inside the leaves, which can lead to rot. 

This plant is completely safe for pets!
