Description:
Tillandsia tectorum is a unique air plant native to the high-altitude Andes in Peru and Ecuador. It features a silvery, fuzzy texture due to dense trichomes that reflect UV rays. This epiphytic plant absorbs moisture from the air and requires no soil, thriving in bright, indirect light with regular misting. Its lightweight, snowball appearance and low-maintenance nature make it a popular choice for indoor plant enthusiasts.
