This is a beautiful epiphytic plant that requires no soil! The 'Bulbosa' variety has long, rigid, wavy, slightly silvery leaves. Like most tilandsias, it will produce pretty little purple flowers. About once a week, soak it in room-temperature water for about fifteen minutes or hang it from the showerhead during the shower. After moistening your plant, you can put it back in place.
