5" Airplant Ball full of gorgeous pink edges, our ionantha 'Fuego' Tillandsia is a stunning addition to any plant collectors assortment and easy to maintain. Water it by soaking it or letting it get rained on and then let it dry out, we water about once a week and good indirect light is all it needs. As this airplant matures and gets enough light it will start to get hints of red at the edges (as depicted in the final image with it's blooms).

Where received it it was vibrant and fall and within a week had bloomed. Since then it is just fading away. It is smaller and thinner. It gets bright light and I missed it a couple times a week. Am I doing something wrong?
