Tillandsia Super Silver XL – Indoor air plant – D20 x H15 cm
🌬️ Air plant • ✨ Silvery foliage • 💧 No repotting • 🌿 Easy care • 🏙️ Urban design
The Tillandsia Super Silver XL, or air plant, is a fascinating and graphic tropical plant native to Central and South America. Its spiraled and silvery foliage, covered with fine velvety hairs called trichomes, allows it to live without soil, relying solely on the moisture in the air.
Sculptural and minimalist, this Super Silver XL variety captivates with its pearly texture and airy posture. A true living work of art, it perfectly embodies the contemporary spirit: nature, design, and lightness combined.
Exposure & location
The Tillandsia Super Silver XL loves bright light without direct sun. Easy to place, it thrives hanging, placed, or integrated into wall decor. It doesn’t need a pot or substrate and adapts perfectly to bright and airy interiors.
- Bright indirect light, without direct sun rays.
- Avoid rooms that are too dark or permanently humid.
- Ideal on a shelf, desk, table, or hanging.
- Ideal temperature: between 16 and 28 °C.
- Tolerates seasonal variations well as long as the air circulates.
Verdeia Tip: choose a location with good air circulation — it’s the key to Tillandsias’ well-being.
Watering & maintenance
Easy to maintain and no repotting needed, Tillandsia literally lives off the ambient air. Its silvery foliage absorbs moisture and nutrients thanks to its trichomes. A little water and light are enough for its happiness.
- Mist 1 to 2 times per week depending on the season.
- In summer, increase the frequency if the air is dry.
- Do a full soak once a month for 15 to 20 minutes.
- After soaking, dry it upside down to avoid any water stagnation.
- No substrate or pot needed — let it breathe freely.
Verdeia Tip: in winter, reduce watering to a weekly misting — excess moisture is more dangerous than lack of it.
