Fast EU shipping | Grown with love in the EU | Pet-safe
Summary: This tiny architectural air plant packs a punch with its upright, spiky silvery-green leaves – perfect for modern minimal displays or kokedama bowls.
✨ Why You'll Love It
- Striking spiky form that stays compact and neat (H10 cm)
- Perfect for terrariums, mounted driftwood pieces, or glass orb displays
- Ultra low-maintenance – no soil needed
- Pet-safe and ideal for small apartments or office desks
- Easy to integrate into Scandinavian or industrial interior styles
🌞 Light & Placement
Thrives in bright, indirect light. Place near a south or east-facing window with filtered sun. Suitable for German and European homes with moderate natural light.
💧 Water & Humidity
Mist generously 2–3 times per week or soak in lukewarm water for 20–30 minutes weekly. Allow to dry completely before placing back in displays. Prefers moderate humidity but tolerates drier indoor air if misted consistently.
🪴 Soil & Potting
No soil required. Display in glass terrariums, ceramic bowls, or mounted on cork bark and driftwood. Ensure excellent airflow to keep foliage healthy.
🐾 Toxicity & Safety
Completely non-toxic and safe for pets – a worry-free choice for homes with cats and dogs.
🌱 Growth & Propagation
Slow-growing. Produces offsets (pups) at the base after flowering. Separate pups once they reach half the size of the mother plant to start new air plant displays.
📆 Seasonal & Special Care
Generally flowers in spring or summer, producing small tubular blooms. Avoid watering during the coolest part of the day to prevent rot.
🐛 Common Issues
Rot from overwatering or poor airflow is the main concern. Browning tips may indicate underwatering or excessive direct sun exposure.
🧬 Botanical Background
