Tillandsia tiles – air plant in a seashell, mix

🐚 Tillandsia Tiles – A shell that becomes living decor!

Meet the Tillandsia – a live air plant that needs no soil, combined with a shell to create a unique decorative piece. This product comes as a varied mix, so the shell shape, Tillandsia variety, plant size, and arrangement may vary slightly depending on stock. Each unit looks a bit different – and that is exactly the charm.

🌤️ Growing Conditions

☀️ Light: Bright and indirect light. Strong direct sun may dry or burn the leaves.
💧 Watering: Once-twice a week, soak all leaves thoroughly until runoff. If the plant is removable, you can soak it for 10–20 minutes.

💨 Ventilation: Very important. After watering, flip and dry completely, preferably within about 4 hours.
