Description

Tillandsia ionantha is one of the most popular and attractive species of Air Plants, which are plants in the Bromeliaceae (bromeliad) family that do not require compost to grow. Also commonly known as the Sky Plant. This Air Plant is native to Mexico and Central America and grows as one head to start with(usually between 5-8cm) before producing a clump of new babies around the base. Having silvery-green leaves with dips of red edges this plant produces a purple tubular flower with yellow stamens.

Sunlight: Air plants like to have bright indirect sunlight, avoid giving them the harsh afternoon sun.

Watering: Make sure to mist 2-3 times per week (in humid environments) and soak for 20-30 minutes once a week; shake off excess water to avoid rot.

Air circulation: Essential. Needs good airflow to prevent moisture build-up and rot.

Air plants are not frost hardy.

All plants come with a plant label with full plant identification and our UK Plant Passport information.

A single head grown to around 5-8cm your plants will be shipped, ready for hanging up into your own decorations.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Beautiful cactus. It's now happy in its new pot on my desk at work to keep it out of the sun for a few days.

Amazing care in packaging it, it came without any damage and was sent swiftly.

Looking forward to watching my new buddy thrive.

Updated to add a progress photo a few months later. As you can see its thriving and super healthy and happy and has opened up following its period in transit

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Beautifully and very carefully packaged. A delight to open and admire the beautiful succulents which were a good size, totally undamaged and excellent value for money. Highly recommended and will use Ottershaw Cacti again in the future. Good delivery albeit 7pm when they arrived but at least arrived the following day after dispatch.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Just received delivery of a number of different aeoniums. They were wrapped with care, and all appear to be as healthy as can be expected after being in a box for a couple of days. Really like the instructions on potting them on which I have followed. Thank you Ottershaw Cacti. (Pictures below show what I received before potting on)
