We got a lot of beautiful varieties of Tillandsia (Air Plants) in this week, many shapes, sizes and colors 💜💚❤️ Tillandsia are a fun genus of plants that do not require soil. Tillandsia absorb water through their leaves so they just want to be soaked in water about once a week. Be sure to shake off excess water and dry them upside down so they do not rot at the base!
