Scientific Name: Tillandsia streptophylla. Common name: "Shirley Temple" airplant. A bromeliad native to Mexico and Belize that is widely grown for its beautiful silvery gray leaves that twist and curl. The Tillandsias are epiphytes - they feed through their leaves and not their roots. Mist the leaves once or twice weekly and they stay happy. Makes great companion plants to grow with orchids. Like orchids, they can be attached to almost anything except chemically treated wood. They are drought-tolerant and suitable for xeriscaping. They like light, but not direct sun. It is easy to grow from seeds and makes an excellent interior plant that is easily cared for. Grown in the sun, the plants will grow like a ball with the arched leaves curving back with the tips entangling one another. In a shaded area, the leaves stretch out, giving the plant an entirely different appearance. Tillandsia streptophylla grows a gorgeous, pink inflorescence that is frosted with trichomes.

This item is a special plant lover's packet of fifty (50) Tillandsia streptophylla seeds, to be delivered upon receipt of payment.
