Tillandsia xerographica – The Sculptural Air Plant

  • Product Info

    The Tillandsia xerographica is the queen of air plants. With its wide, curling leaves and silvery sheen, it looks like a miniature tropical sculpture - effortlessly sophisticated and completely soil-free. Native to Central America, this epiphyte thrives by absorbing moisture and nutrients from the air, making it a low-maintenance wonder for indoor jungles, shelves, or hanging displays.

    Its sculptural form creates natural drama, while its silvery tone adds a calm, modern elegance. Ideal for terrariums, driftwood mounts, or minimalist displays, the xerographica brings a touch of the exotic into everyday life.
