Tillandsia bulbosa is a unique species due to its bulbous shape. It has a wide distribution in the wild, from Mexico through central and South America.

Interestingly it has a symbiotic relationship with ants which can live in their bulbous bases, in return the ants fertilise the plant. This species is easy to grow and eventually makes a nice clump.  It is tolerant higher humidity and less air movement, making it suitable for bathrooms and terrariums.

Display the plant near a window and to water it my preference is to submerge it in a bowl of water for 20-30 minutes. In winter about every 2 weeks. Spring/summer-weekly. Rainwater is best at room temperature or pond water. You could use bottled spring water. Avoid distilled or filtered water. Then give it a gentle shake to remove any excess as they dislike overwatering and hang up to dry. Alternatively you could spray the air plant thoroughly until water drips from the leaves.

 

Plant height: Approx. 8-10cms. 

Comes with a detailed care card.
