The Tillandsia Baileyi, also known as Pseudobaileyi, is a stiff plant similar to the Caput Medusae or Bulbosa. What makes it different is its striped leaves. When blooming it produces a lavender bloom with purple petals. Grown in higher light these can color purple. Baileyi have a light, silvery green foliage when not in blush.
All of our plants ship green however when they are available we will ship with bloom or in blush.
These plants are low maintenance, making them a great choice for people who are new to indoor plants.
They need regular daily indirect or filtered sunlight (so fine for desks, shelves, bathrooms or bedrooms). A weekly water is all they require - although you can always give them a mist in between if they look a little dry.
Air plants prefer regular air circulation, so we suggest open terrariums rather than the kind with lids.
We stock an air plant fertilizer which is ideal for this plant - check out the 'Supplies' section of our shop to see more. We also have a wide range of fillers which you can use as a base in any plant pot you might use. Orchid bark is a great choice for this!
