✨ Unique Sculptural Air Plant ✨
Tillandsia bulbosa is a distinctive air plant with a bulb-like base and
twisting green leaves. Native to Central and South America, it thrives as an
epiphyte, absorbing moisture and nutrients through its leaves. Its vivid green
color and unusual form make it a standout. When in bloom, it produces a
striking red to purple flower spike with tubular purple flowers. This low-
maintenance plant is a favorite among enthusiasts for its otherworldly
appearance and adaptability.
