The Tillandsia tectorum ecuador is a very unique, rare air plant. They are sure to make a big impact with their fuzzy, snowball-like appearance which they get from their abundance of trichomes. The trichomes not only give them their striking look, but also make them one of the most drought tolerant air plants, and one of the few that can tolerate full sunlight.
*Because of their trichomes they don't need the weekly soaks that most air plants require. Instead, these fuzzy friends like to be gently misted with water weekly or so. They prefer bright, filtered natural light and need good airflow in order to thrive.
