Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your Purple Tricolor Tillandsia in its Jellyfish Air Plant Hanger is straightforward and rewarding. These unique plants thrive with proper light, water, and air circulation. For optimal health, provide bright, indirect light. Avoid direct, harsh sunlight, especially during the hottest parts of the day, as this can scorch the leaves. An east or north-facing window is often ideal, or a spot a few feet away from a south or west-facing window. Good air circulation is crucial for air plants; avoid placing them in enclosed, stagnant spaces.

Watering is the most important aspect of tillandsia care. The most common method is to soak the entire plant (not the shell) in room-temperature water for 20-30 minutes once a week. After soaking, gently shake off excess water and place the plant upside down on a towel to dry completely for several hours. This prevents water from collecting in the base, which can lead to rot. In drier climates or during warmer months, you might need to mist your plant 2-3 times a week between soaks. Ensure the plant is fully dry within 2-4 hours after watering to prevent fungal issues. Remember, do not water the sea urchin shell itself. The natural color enhancement on the plant is safe and does not affect its health.

Fertilization is not strictly necessary but can encourage growth. Use a specialized air plant fertilizer diluted to one-quarter strength, once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). Simply add the fertilizer to your soaking water. Maintain indoor temperatures between 60-80°F (15-27°C) and avoid sudden temperature fluctuations. This air plant display is designed for indoor use, where temperatures are stable. With consistent care, your Purple Tricolor Tillandsia will thrive, occasionally producing small flowers and ‘pups’ (offsets) that can eventually be separated to create new plants.

Size & Details

Each Jellyfish Air Plant Hanger is a unique, handcrafted piece. The size of the sea urchin shell typically ranges from approximately 1.5 to 3 inches in diameter, providing a natural cradle for the air plant. The Purple Tricolor Tillandsia itself varies in size, generally measuring around 3-6 inches in length, with its delicate leaves cascading beautifully from the shell. The overall hanging length, including the plant and string, will vary based on the specific plant and shell combination. These hangers come fully assembled, ready to display. We prioritize the health and longevity of both the plant and the shell; therefore, the air plant is not glued to the sea urchin, allowing for proper air circulation and easy removal for watering. The natural color of the sea urchin shell can vary in shades, adding to the individuality of each piece. While the image provides an idea of the hanger’s appearance, each plant and shell combination is unique, ensuring you receive a one-of-a-kind living decor item.
