Description

The listing, Live Air Plants Tillandsia Recurvata Cluster Medicinal Natural Growth has ended.

These are Live Air plants or Tilandsia, they don't need soil to survive.
These are native to Texas, it has finished blooming. Place them in your outside hanging pots.
You can use them in crafts, in arrangements, on wreaths anywhere you'd like some green without the need for a pot. They have medicinal properties.
Ball Moss has shown significant anti-tumor and HIV/AIDS applications in vitro as well as in animal studies.[citation needed] Dr. Henry Lowe of Jamaica has applied for a US patent for a Ball Moss extract which induces tumorous cell death by apoptosis. From Wikipedia.
Most plants prefer cooler night temperatures - 10-15 degrees less than daytime is ideal
Give them bright, filtered light.
Provided If the atmosphere is not too dry (as in an air-conditioned home) they can survive with water misting once or twice a week but not to heavy and the occasional bath for a soak. They are much like an ochid.

If you are growing them indoors and the air is dry, you will need (at minimum) to submerge the plant in water for 2-3 hours about every two weeks. Otherwise, in a shade-house or unheated home, you can use a soaking mist once or twice a week in summer, once a month in cooler weather.
Fertilize by adding a pinch of Orchid fertilizer to your mister.
You may soak your plant for 20-30 minutes if it becomes very dry.
They can be separated into smaller plants.
Bidder will get an air plant much like or larger than the one pictured here. Also bidder if they send me their email will get a detailed instructions of how to care for their plant.
I will make sure you get a good amount of this plant for the shipping charge. I am sorry but I can't afford to ship for free:-( You will get equivalent of $2.75 cost in weight with packaging in shipment. Or for Christmas wreaths or decorations $5.50 for bubble wrap envelope full!:-)
Good Luck bidding.

You will get several(many) plants and the sizes range from about 2" to 4 or 5 inches depending on what Mother nature makes available. Also they may or not have the branch still connected as I don't strip them from twig or branch before i ship.

Can these be shipped across country? I know they usually don't even let me bring oranges back from Cali because it's against regulation for fear of bug transfers!
