Frequently asked questions
What should I do after a Tillandsia blooms? The plant blooms only once, then produces offsets called pups around its base — let them grow naturally, they will form an increasingly lush clump.
Can Tillandsias live in a bathroom? Yes — a well-lit bathroom is actually an ideal spot, as the natural ambient humidity reduces the frequency of misting needed.

<p class="product-highlights">🌿 8 air plants in coconut fiber kokodama • ☀️ Bright indirect light • 💧 Misting or soaking • 🐾 Non-toxic • 🎨 Pink to purple flowering • 📏 Ø7 cm | H5 cm</p>
<p class="product-description-lead">The <strong>Kokodama Birdnest Tillandsia Mix</strong> brings together <strong>8 air plants</strong> (soil-free) with fine, textured leaves, sometimes tinted pink or purple when flowering. Each is presented in a handcrafted kokodama ball made of coconut fiber — a natural, light, and airy decoration to hang or place freely. Tillandsia do not need soil: they absorb moisture and nutrients directly through their leaves.</p>
<p class="product-description-lead">Find them in our <a href="/en/collections/plantas-colgantes">collection of trailing plants</a> and in our <a href="/en/collections/soportes-decorativos-plantas-aereas">selection of decorative stands for air plants</a>.</p>

<!-- EXPOSURE & PLACEMENT -->
<section class="product-section" id="exposition-emplacement" aria-labelledby="exposition-title">
<h2 id="exposition-title">Light & placement</h2>
<p>Tillandsia enjoy bright indirect light — they thrive indoors in a bright spot or outdoors sheltered from direct sun and wind.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Exposure:</strong> bright indirect light to bright partial shade — avoid direct full sun which burns the tips.</li>
<li><strong>Ideal:</strong> hanging near a window, bright bathroom, airy living room.</li>
<li><strong>Temperature:</strong> 15 to 28 °C — bring them indoors as soon as temperatures drop below 10 °C.</li>
<li><strong>Humidity:</strong> slightly humid atmosphere preferred — ideal in a bright bathroom.</li>
</ul>
<p class="micro-tip">Vary the hanging heights for a graphic, airy cloud effect — a group of 3 to 5 kokodamas in a row adds elegant rhythm to a hallway or reading nook.</p>

<!-- WATERING & CARE -->
<section class="product-section" id="arrosage-entretien" aria-labelledby="arrosage-title">
<h2 id="arrosage-title">Watering & care</h2>
<p>Tillandsia hydrate differently from potted plants — two methods are possible depending on your routine.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Misting:</strong> mist 2 to 3 times a week with lime-free water — ideally rainwater or filtered water.</li>
<li><strong>Soaking:</strong> soak for 10 to 15 minutes in a container of water, then shake gently and leave to dry upside down so that no water pools in the center.</li>
<li><strong>Fertilizer:</strong> heavily diluted (epiphyte fertilizer), once a month in spring and summer.</li>
<li><strong>Care:</strong> trim dry tips with clean scissors to keep a neat silhouette.</li>
</ul>
<p class="micro-tip">Mist more often in summer and near a radiator in winter — Tillandsia show they are thirsty by slightly curling their leaves inward.</p>

<!-- DECOR IDEAS & COMBINATIONS -->
<section class="product-section" id="associations-deco" aria-labelledby="deco-title">
<h2 id="deco-title">Decor ideas & plant pairings</h2>
<p>Their lightness and miniature size make them ideal allies to create verticality and depth indoors — decorative plants that literally float in space.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Pairing:</strong> combine them with an <a href="/en/products/asplenium-parvati-helecho-tropical-de-interior">Asplenium Parvati</a> or a <a href="/en/products/chlorophytum-comosum-variegatum-planta-arana-jaspeada">Chlorophytum variegatum</a> for a group of light plants with contrasting textures.</li>
<li><strong>See also:</strong> our <a href="/en/products/tillandsia-ionantha-abdita-planta-aerea-cubo-mezcla-d20cm-20cm">Tillandsia ionantha cube mix</a> and our <a href="/en/products/tillandsia-super-silver-xl-20cm-15cm">Tillandsia Super Silver XL</a> for other air plant formats.</li>
<li><strong>Display:</strong> wall rails, stands, floating shelves, bright windowsills — these kokodamas can be set down or hung wherever you like.</li>
</ul>

<!-- VERDEIA TIPS -->
<section class="product-section" id="tips" aria-labelledby="tips-title">
<h2 id="tips-title">Verdeia tips</h2>
<ul class="verdeia-tips">
<li><strong>Always dry upside down after soaking</strong> — water that remains in the center of the rosette causes rapid and irreversible rot. After each soak, gently shake the plant and turn it upside down for a few minutes so the water drains completely before putting it back in place.</li>
<li><strong>After flowering, let the offsets develop</strong> — a Tillandsia flowers only once in its life then produces offsets (called "pups") around its base. Do not remove these offsets — they will gradually form an increasingly lush clump.</li>
<li><strong>Turn the hanging plants every 2 weeks</strong> — Tillandsia naturally grow toward the light. A regular half-turn keeps their shape even and stops the plant from leaning to one side.</li>
</ul>

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.
