Bulbosa

The Tillandsia Bulbosa is a seriously cool plant! Similiar in style to the Butzii, the Bulbosa has a wider spread and deeper green hue. He's named for his big bulbous belly... He's the 'dad-bod' of the air plants!

The leaves are a deep shiny green, and grow out ward from the bulb. They grow to about 8-10 inches, and are extremely hardy and easy to take care of. A lot of air plants need a lot of bright light, where as this guy can survive in a little dimmer environment. Notice how I didn't say cave! 

*I recommend pairing these with the hanging hammocks. Also looks gorgeous paired with cholla wood, in a terrarium or in an empty shell to resemble a creature of the sea. 

Bulbosa care recommendations:

• Soak in a bowl or sink for about 5-10 minutes- once or twice a week in the summer, and once a week in the winter.
• In general, the hotter/drier it is, the more often it needs to be watered.
• Shake out all excess water after soaking
• Be sure to dry completely as the bulbous body can be prone to rot
• The Bulbosa does well in moderate to bright indirect light
