Regular price
$15.00
Jumbo Tillandsia Tectorum Ecuador Air Plant
The Tillandsia Tectorum from Ecuador stands out as one of the most sought-after air plants available. This jumbo specimen features distinctive fuzzy white trichomes that create a bright, eye-catching appearance unlike any other air plant variety. The mature plant produces a striking purple inflorescence spike adorned with delicate lavender blooms.
Size and Appearance
This jumbo variety measures approximately 8-12 inches wide by 4.5-5 inches tall, making it a substantial statement piece for any air plant collection. The dense coverage of trichomes gives this species its signature bright white coloration, creating a soft, fuzzy texture that distinguishes it from smoother air plant varieties.
Care Requirements for Tillandsia Tectorum
Unlike many air plants that tolerate soaking, Tillandsia Tectorum requires a different approach to watering. This species prefers light misting over submersion to prevent rot. In drier climates with insufficient morning dew or mid-level humidity, mist lightly once daily. The key is allowing the plant to dry rather quickly, so a light to medium mist is sufficient.
This air plant does not thrive in high heat combined with heavy humidity, as it needs to dry sufficiently between waterings. If you're growing your Tectorum outdoors in humid conditions, ensure it receives plenty of air circulation to facilitate proper drying and prevent moisture-related issues.
Ideal Growing Conditions
Tillandsia Tectorum adapts well to various indoor environments when given proper care. It prefers bright, indirect light and benefits from good air movement. The trichomes that give this plant its white appearance also serve a functional purpose, helping the plant absorb moisture and nutrients from the air while protecting it from intense sunlight in its native Ecuadorian habitat.
Product Specifications
- Approximately 8-12" wide by 4.5-5" tall
- Care Note: To prevent rot, do not soak this species in water. Instead, spray with water once or twice a week.
