This is a beautiful epiphytic plant that requires no soil! The 'Cotton Candy' variety has long, thin, straight, and rigid leaves that are slightly silvery. 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 you can hang it from the showerhead during the shower. After moistening your plant, you can put it back in place.
Non-toxic to animals.
