Air Plant- Streptophylla Medium

Known as the Shirley Temple Plant because its leaves curl inward when given less moisture. These are slow growers but can get to be over a foot at maturity.

NOTE: This species is naturally brown at the base and does not indicate rot. The lower leaves also tend to be more delicately attached to the plant so be careful not to pull at them and accidentally pull one off. Overall, this is a very hardy air plant species, but there will often be some minor imperfections on the leaves. 

SIZE:  Medium: 4"-5" 

(SIZES ARE APPROXIMATE)

Air Plant Care:

Water-  Water 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 Xerographica 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.
