$23.99

Tillandsia Melanocrater is a type of air plant native to Central America. A famed not-so-ordinary houseplant that your guests will surely adore, this epiphytic species produces thin, long, and hard leaves that culminate in a sharp tip. The grassy leaves are deep green, while the flowers are long and blue, pink, or purple with small “ears.” After flowering, this low maintenance plant will die, but the “pups” or offsets produced around the base will continue the life cycle.
