The Tillandsia Bulbosa, Also Known as the Bulbous Air Plant

The Tillandsia Bulbosa has long, twisting leaves that grow out from a rounded, bulb shaped base, giving it a look that is a bit different from most air plants. It works well in a terrarium, hanging display, or mounted on driftwood.

Why People Like the Bulbosa

🌀 A Shape All Its Own

The curling, tentacle like leaves growing from its bulb shaped base give it real texture and character next to other plants.

🌿 No Soil, No Fuss

It absorbs water and nutrients through its leaves, so it works well mounted, in a dish, or hanging.

🌸 Color at Bloom Time

As it nears blooming, its leaves can shift toward purple, and it produces small tubular flowers.

🐾 Safe Around Pets

It is non toxic, so it is a safe pick for households with cats or dogs.
