About Our Ionantha Variety PackThis is a variety pack of 12 of our nicest Ionanthas including Ionantha Guatemala, Rubra, and Scaposa. Ionanthas are perfect for smaller terrariums, driftwood, and cork. They are a classic and adored air plant. Their trichomes give the leaves a white or silvery look. When in bloom these little guys blush a beautiful red to orange color. They bloom 2 to 3 times per year. It is very exciting when they burst into color! Most plants sent today will be green, however we always try to include as many colorful plants as possible. More About Air PlantsAir plants are easy-care house plants in the genus Tillandsia. Air plants are unique because they do not need soil to grow. They are epiphyte plants native to Central and South America. They only need light, water and air to survive. They are great for small spaces, as accents, home decor or party favors. The options are unlimited – Tillandsia can stand alone or pair with an accessory such as a terrarium, ceramic hanger, cork bark, driftwood, and more! Air plants also make great gifts – They are the gift that keeps giving! Air plants reproduce by producing offsets or “pups” from the base of the plant after they show off their spectacular bloom. Every order comes with care instructions. Multiple UsesAir plants add beauty to indoor and outdoor spaces. Place them in terrariums, wall planters, containers, globes and use them to stylize vertical gardens displays. As a succulent alternative, Tillandsia (air plants) can decorate events like weddings, birthdays, for Easter and Christmas. Use them as party favors, Mother’s Day gifts, centerpieces or as unique gifts.
