Airplant Fuego Ball
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. One big reason to bring air plants into your home is that they can purify the air you breathe!
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).
