Large Tillandsia Melanocrater Tricolor Air Plant (6–8 Inch)
Large Tillandsia Melanocrater Tricolor Air Plant (6–8 Inch)
Out of stock
Bold, architectural, and effortlessly alive — the Tillandsia Melanocrater Tricolor is one of the most striking air plants you can own. With stiff, pine needle-like leaves fanning out from a narrow base, this hardy specimen brings a sculptural quality to any space: a shelf, a terrarium, a driftwood display, or a crystal arrangement.
Deep green with a rich brown base, Tricolor transforms dramatically at bloom — blushing deep burgundy with a vivid yellow and red bloom spike that commands attention.
No soil. No fuss. Just mist, light, and a little wonder.
