The Ionantha Guatemala is a small, beautiful plant. 

Guatemala grow very easily and also readily produce pups. You will often see Guatemalas form into clumps of 3-5 plants. These plants can withstand a variety of conditions, but prefer brighter light levels and routine waterings.

This is one of the air plants that can either be misted, or submerged in water - we prefer the soak/submerge method but it is your choice.  

Ionantha Guatemalas are typically green in color, but turn an amazing red or pink color when they come into bloom. Once in full bloom, they produce purple flowers protruding from the center of the plant. It is truly a sight to see. 

We might recommend this plant if you are going to be putting your air plant in a glass container, such as a teardrop vase. It does not grow to be too big, but it is also big enough to fill out some of your smaller containers. 

SIZE: Small: 1"-2"

Air Plant Care:

Water-  your air plant once a week by soaking it in a bowl of water for 20 minutes. Let air dry upside down to prevent root rot.

Light- Air plants prefer bright, indirect sunlight.

Temperature- They thrive within a range of 50-90 degrees Fahrenheit.

Tips: 

- Air plants like to be watered at least once a week. You may mist them with a spray bottle, or run them under a faucet of water. If you mist, you will want to make sure to mist then entire plant every day or two.

- It is important to make sure that no standing water collects at the center of the air plant, as that would cause root rot. 

- Air Plants light bright, indirect sunlight. They also enjoy florescent lighting, making them a great plant for offices and work spaces.
