🌿 Set of 10 air plants • 🌱 No soil or pot • 💧 Regular misting • ✨ Endless DIY possibilities • 🐾 Non-toxic
The Tillandsia Air mix is a set of 10 epiphytic air plants native to the tropical forests and deserts of Central and South America, where they naturally grow attached to trees and rocks without ever touching the ground. These plants absorb water and nutrients directly through their leaves — no soil, no pot, no hassle. Each set contains a mix of varieties from Ionantha, Argentea, Gardneri and Oaxacana — all approximately Ø6 cm.
Non-toxic and requiring no complex care, with 10 plants you have enough to create several arrangements simultaneously. Pair them with unusual plants and terrarium plants.
Which set should you choose?
Tillandsia Air mix is available in several formats depending on your project:
- Set of 5 — the discovery format for beginners or for creating a first arrangement.
- Set of 10 (this product) — the ideal mid-size format for creating several varied arrangements or giving them to several people.
- Set of 20 — XXL format for large installations, events, or ambitious decor projects.
- Tillandsia King Xero — unique large plant, H23 cm, with spectacular silver leaves. The statement piece.
- Tillandsia Cyanea — spectacular pink flowering variety, H38 cm, with long-lasting blooms.
- Tillandsia set on LED stand — 2 plants on a light-up stand, ready to display.
- Kokodama Tillandsia mix — 8 Tillandsia on kokodama supports, ready to hang.
Why choose the set of 10? It offers the best balance between variety and budget — enough plants to create several different arrangements, experiment with different supports, and give some away.
Exposure & placement
Tillandsia thrive in bright indirect light and good air circulation — two essential conditions. A bright bathroom is their ideal location: natural humidity reduces the need for misting. Their ideal location depends on the balance between light and humidity.
- Light: bright indirect light - avoid direct sun in summer.
- Ideal: near a window, hanging, on a shelf, or in an open terrarium.
- Temperature: 15 to 25 °C - tolerates moderate fluctuations.
- Support: no substrate - place on shells, pebbles, driftwood, or hang with transparent line.
- Air circulation: essential - avoid enclosed spaces without ventilation.
Watering & care
Watering Tillandsia is radically different from watering other plants - they absorb water through their leaves. The most important point: always dry them upside down after each watering - stagnant water in the center causes rot.
- Misting: 2 to 3 times a week with rainwater or filtered water - limescale clogs the trichomes.
- Soaking: once every 2 weeks, soak for 20 to 30 minutes in room-temperature water.
- Drying: gently shake and let dry upside down in a well-ventilated place - this is the most important step.
- Summer: increase to 3 to 4 mistings per week when it's hot.
- Fertilizer: optional - once a month in spring and summer with very diluted orchid fertilizer (1/4 dose).
Curling leaves = thirst. Browning tips = air that's too dry. Two simple signs to help you adjust your care routine.
Decor ideas & DIY creations
With 10 Tillandsia, you have everything you need to carry out several creative projects in parallel - hanging displays, terrariums, plant frames, and driftwood arrangements.
- Hanging displays: hang at different heights with transparent fishing line to create an airy hanging garden.
- Open terrarium: arrange in an open glass jar with pebbles, sand, and driftwood for a miniature dry garden.
- On driftwood: secure with non-toxic silicone glue on branches or bark for a natural effect.
- Creative gifts: give them individually with a seashell or pebble as a support — 10 plants, 10 original gifts to personalize.
- Wall-mounted plant frame: attach them to wire mesh or a wooden frame to create a living plant picture to hang.
To attach them without damaging them, naturally wedging them into a crack in wood or a seashell is always preferable to glue — the plants remain easier to remove for water baths.
Verdeia tips
- Always dry them after soaking — turn them upside down for 1 to 2 hours after each soak to drain water from the center of the rosette. This is the most important step to prevent rot, the only real danger for these plants.
- Rainwater or filtered water only — limescale and chlorine in tap water clog the trichomes, the tiny hairs that allow the leaves to absorb water. With tap water, the plants gradually weaken for no apparent reason.
- Some varieties may flower — Ionantha turns bright red just before flowering. Flowering occurs only once in the mother plant's life, but it produces offshoots that perpetuate the colony. Separate them when they reach one-third of the mother's size.
- The set contains a surprise selection — the exact varieties vary depending on availability. Each set guarantees 10 healthy, different plants, with a selection from Ionantha, Argentea, Gardneri and Oaxacana.

Our Verdeia commitments
FAQ – Everything to know before adopting your Verdeia plant
How are my plants prepared before shipping?
All our plants are selected from our European partner nurseries. Before shipping, they are watered, cleaned, and protected with breathable, secure packaging. Each package is designed to ensure your plant arrives in perfect health, without any transport-related stress.
Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos accurately represent the variety and the stated size. Since each plant is unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or color may occur — and that’s part of their charm.
What are the delivery times and conditions?
Orders ship within 48 working hours, with tracked delivery in 2 to 5 working days via DPD. Shipping costs and the free-shipping threshold depend on your country — see our delivery page. You receive a tracking link as soon as your parcel leaves.
What should I do when my plant arrives?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What should I do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
Can I return a plant?
Since plants are living beings, standard returns are not possible. However, we guarantee good health upon delivery: if the plant arrives damaged, it will be replaced free of charge. For any other cases (order error, decorative pot, accessory), returns are possible within 14 days.
