This is a beautiful epiphytic plant that requires no soil! This variety is small and very fine, with silvery-grey leaves, very narrow, filiform and slightly curved. The foliage forms a Rosette in an airy and soft ball to the touch, almost feathery. Like the majority of tilandsias, it will produce pretty little purple flowers. About once a week, soak it in room temperature water for about ten minutes or you can hang it from the shower head during the shower. After humidifying your plant, you can put it back in place.
