Large Streptophylla Hybrid - 5 to 7 Inch Air Plant - Seasonal Variations

The Drunken Gnome Air Plant Supply Co., a family-owned and operated farm and nursery, specializes in Tillandsia Air Plants. They take pride in carefully selecting and packaging the finest Tillandsia for plant enthusiasts of all experience levels to enjoy.

The company offers over 30 varieties of Tillandsia, which require no soil and are air-purifying, making them a perfect choice for indoor house plants. They also make great gifts for various occasions, such as holidays, birthdays, and housewarming parties.

One of the featured Tillandsia is the Streptophylla Hybrid, also known as T. Eric Knobloch. This medium-sized air plant has curly, wide leaves that start as a lime green color and transition to a vibrant rose color when in bloom. The plant displays a rose-colored inflorescence and bright purple flowers, typically blooming from early spring to late summer.

The Streptophylla Hybrid is a robust plant that can produce between 1 to 4+ pups (offsets) as it reaches maturity and blooms. These pups can be separated once they reach 1/3 or half the size of the mother plant. Proper care, including adequate sunlight, airflow, water, and nutrients, is essential for the plant's growth and health.

Tillandsia, or air plants, are an adaptive and hardy species that absorb water and nutrients through their leaves. They can be attached to various objects, such as driftwood, air plant holders, or placed in glass orb terrariums. Indoor Tillandsia generally require watering 1-3 times per week and should be kept in indirect sunlight.

The Drunken Gnome Air Plant Supply Co. recommends using their Hydrate Mister Bottle and Air Plant Food & Fertilizer Set to ensure the optimal care and thriving of their air plants. They also provide detailed information on the life cycle, roots, leaves, flowers, and pups of Tillandsia, as well as tips for displaying and caring for these unique plants.

In addition to the Streptophylla Hybrid, the company offers a variety of other Tillandsia, including Xerographica, Ionantha Fuego, Bulbosa, Victoriana, and Ionantha. Each plant is carefully packaged in bright-colored tissue paper, accompanied by a care guide and a Drunken Gnome sticker, before being shipped from the greenhouse to customers' homes.
