Tillandsia is a genus in the bromeliad family, native to the forests, mountains, and deserts of Central and South America. These plants earn their \"air plant\" nickname by absorbing water and nutrients through their leaves rather than roots, requiring no soil to thrive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Soil_40a149eb-9d43-4bf0-ac38-159c702c72f2_480x480.png?v=1600397158\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"\"\u003e The Sputnik Urchin shells feature naturally hollow, spiky forms that cradle each air plant with an organic, sculptural quality. The silvery-green Tillandsia rosettes contrast beautifully against the pale, textured shells, creating a look that feels both natural and modern. Each arrangement sits attractively on shelves, windowsills, or tabletops, and the set of three allows for versatile grouping in any space.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/House_8db6c6e9-d5bb-466c-95af-bdbcbe9ff370_480x480.png?v=1600400127\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"\"\u003e These arrangements work beautifully as desk accents, bathroom decor, or living room focal points anywhere with good airflow and indirect light. Tillandsia air plants are pet friendly, making them a great choice for homes with cats or dogs. Because of the spiky shell and small plant parts, placing them out of reach of young children is a good idea. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Sun_65296975-26d8-49a3-83b6-b7b0ed15ae73_480x480.png?v=1600397323\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"\"\u003e Tillandsia air plants thrive in bright, indirect light. Place them near a window that receives filtered sunlight for several hours a day. Avoid direct midday sun, which can scorch the leaves, but low-light conditions will slow growth and reduce vibrancy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Water_d9b740b9-bfce-41c4-ae3e-16bf9678c77f_480x480.png?v=1600397177\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"\"\u003e Water by misting two to three times per week or by submerging the plants in room-temperature water for 20 to 30 minutes once a week. After soaking, gently shake off excess water and allow the plants to dry upside down for a few hours before returning them to the shells. Good air circulation after watering is key to preventing rot.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Soil_40a149eb-9d43-4bf0-ac38-159c702c72f2_480x480.png?v=1600397158\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"\"\u003e No soil is needed for Tillandsia air plants.
