Tenuifolia Blue

Airplants also known as Tillandsia is a genus of around 540 species of evergreen, perennial (flowers that stay alive through seasons -opposite annual which is one season ) flowering plant. Native to the forests, mountains and deserts of Central and South America, the southern United States and the West Indies.

The thinner-leafed varieties grow in rainy areas and the thick-leafed varieties in areas more subject to drought. Moisture and nutrients are gathered from the air (dust, decaying leaves and insect matter) through structures on the leaves called Tricromes.

Tenuifolia air plants are thick and bushy with stiff, sturdy leaves. They curve elegantly as they grow larger and are very hardy and easy to care for.
