Tillandsia bulbosa is an extraordinary air plant native to coastal rainforests and mangrove swamps from southern Mexico down through northern South America. Exhibiting an alien-like bulbous pseudobulb base with narrow, twisted tentacle-like leaves, this myrmecophytic epiphyte requires absolutely no soil to flourish. Curated by The Lush Flora on Foliages.in, each healthy air plant is ready to mount on driftwood, shells, or wire displays.
