Tectorum is beloved for its unique, feathery appearance. These look great stuck to driftwood, as an accent in a combined display or displayed as a specimen. 

We offer Tectorum in two sizes, small and medium. Small measures in at about 2.5-3" wide. Medium measures in at about 4" wide (and is the size pictured in our listing photos). The exact Tectorum that we send will be a random selection, not the exact one shown in our photos. 

Unlike other Tillandsia, you'll want to avoid soaking Tectorum, due to its thick, fluffy trichomes. Tectorum is highly drought tolerant and it will only require a thorough misting every 2-3 weeks. Make sure that your Tecoturm dries within an hour of misting (allow it to dry in an area with good airflow to keep it fluffy). 

Tectorum prefers bright, direct light. The fluffy white trichomes reflect a lot of light, so it prefers a sunny location. 

As with all Tillandsia, water quality matters. Use spring water, well water or tap water that has been left out overnight. 

**Depending on the Tillandsia ordered, it may take up to ten days to ship. We keep some stock on hand, but some of our stock is cared for at the cultivation farm. This ensures that our Tillandsias expertly cared for and are of the utmost quality. Depending on what you order, your order may ship right away, or may take up to ten days to process. If other items are in your order, your order may arrive in multiple shipments. 

All of our Tillandsia are randomly selected and you will get one similar to the one shown in our photo. 

We took our Tillandsia photos near our plant racks, which cast a soft pink hue in our photos. Plants shown may be exhibiting UV stress coloration. Please allow for slight color changes in transit.
