Tillandsia Tectorum - Air Plant

Tillandsia Tectorum is one of the most recognizable air plants, known for its bright silvery-white color and fuzzy leaves. Its soft, almost snow-covered look comes from tiny white trichomes that help the plant handle bright light and dry conditions.

This air plant has a round, airy shape with leaves that curve outward from the center. Its pale color makes it stand out in air plant displays, especially when paired with shells, cork bark, driftwood, terrariums, hanging holders, or simple tabletop displays.

Like other Tillandsia air plants, Tectorum does not need soil to grow. It absorbs water through its leaves and can be displayed in many different ways without a pot or planter.

Care Tips:
Place your Tillandsia Tectorum in bright, indirect light with good airflow. This variety prefers to dry quickly after watering, so light misting or a quick rinse is usually better than a long soak. After watering, shake off excess water and let the plant dry completely within a few hours.
