Air Plant – Tillandsia Houseplant (Assorted Types)
Discover the magic of soil-free houseplants with our Air Plants, also known as Tillandsia. These fascinating, non-toxic to pets plants come in a variety of natural shapes and sizes, and they grow without soil – making them perfect for terrariums, mounted displays, driftwood, or glass ornaments. Shea urchin not included but available from our shop.
This plant is:
✔️ Easy to Care For
✔️ Non-Toxic to Pets
✔️ Slow Growing
✔️ Ideal for Terrariums, Vivariums & Mounted Displays
✔️ Great for Gifting
✔️ Loved by Minimalist & Creative Plant Collectors
Tillandsias absorb moisture and nutrients through their leaves, so they don’t require any potting mix. Just mist them regularly or soak occasionally depending on your room’s humidity. They’re ideal for small spaces, low-mess plant setups, and creative plant styling in open terrariums, mounted art, or decorative bowls.
✨ Each air plant is unique and selected from our current range. Leaf shape, size, and colour will vary – every Tillandsia has its own natural charm.
📦 Air plants are packed securely using recyclable and reused packaging materials, and come with a scannable QR code for full care instructions.
🌿 Quick Care Guide
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light – avoid strong direct sunlight
💧 Watering: Mist 2–3 times a week, or soak in water for 20 minutes every 1–2 weeks
💦 Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity
🌱 Extra Tip: Let air plants fully dry after watering by laying with roots up
- How should I water my new air plant to ensure it thrives?
- Mist your plant 2–3 times a week, or alternatively, soak it in water for about 20 minutes every 1–2 weeks. Ensure the plant is fully dry after each watering by placing it with roots up to prevent water accumulation.
- Can I include these air plants in a terrarium with other types of plants?
- Yes, air plants are ideal for terrarium setups as they require no soil and have minimal root systems. They pair well with other low-water plants and mosses, but make sure the terrarium has good air circulation to prevent moisture buildup.
- What type of packaging is used for shipping these plants, and is it eco-friendly?
- Air plants are shipped in recyclable and reused packaging materials, aligning with our commitment to sustainability. Each plant also comes with a scannable QR code for digital care instructions.
☀️ Light
☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
Your Air Plant Tillandsia thrives in bright, indirect light. Place it near a window where sunlight is filtered through a curtain, ensuring it doesn’t receive harsh direct sun that can scorch its delicate leaves.
💧 Water
💧💧▫️ (Medium)
Keep the air plant hydrated by misting it 2-3 times a week, or give it a thorough soak in water for about 20 minutes every 1-2 weeks. Ensure it’s fully dried afterwards to prevent rot.
🌡️ Temperature
🌡️🌡️▫️ (Average)
Air Plants prefer typical indoor temperatures, around 18-24°C. They are quite tolerant but protect them from extreme cold drafts and hot radiators.
💦 Humidity
💦💦▫️ (Moderate)
Tillandsias enjoy moderate to high humidity, making them perfect for kitchens and bathrooms where the air is usually moister than other parts of the home.
🪴 Repotting
Since Tillandsias do not grow in soil, they don’t need traditional repotting. Instead, focus on their mounting or display setup, ensuring they are secure and their leaves have space to spread out.
🐾 Pet Friendliness
These plants are non-toxic to pets, so they’re safe to keep around your furry friends without worry.
🏠 Recommended Locations at Home
Ideal spots include shelves near an east or south-facing window, bathrooms with natural light, or any space where indirect sunlight brightens the room.
🌿 Air Purifying
Though not as potent as some larger houseplants, Air Plants can help filter indoor air, adding a breath of fresh air to your home environment.
✨ Other Plant Features
Each Tillandsia is unique, varying in shape, size, and color, which adds an artistic touch to your home decor. They are also perfect for terrariums, vivariums, and creative mounted displays.
