@airtings: Watch this Tectorum change from its fuzzy snowball appearance, to a vibrant green! ❄️🌱 This happens when the air plant is soaking up all that good h2o into its little trichomes. 💧 This plant’s unique form is due the extreme conditions in its native Andean climate. In Peru, the Tillandsia Tectorum is seen growing in rugged, arid regions alongside cacti and agave in full sun. Due to the exposure to such bright ultraviolet light, the plants have adapted with large trichomes to reflect the strong solar radiation. This bring us to our MOST IMPORTANT home-care instructions for Tectorum: It is very important that you do not submerge this species in water for long or let them remain wet for any length of time. This species will thrive on a thorough misting or a quick dunk every 1-3 weeks. In addition, they require more light than other species due to so much of it being reflected. ☀️ #airtings #tillandsiatectorum #airplants #airplantcare #uniqueplant #fuzzyplant #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantsoftiktok
