How to Grow
The houseplant from outer space! This cute Sputnik Sea Urchin houses an alien-like Tillandsia or Air Plant. Hygienic and air-purifying, this living ornament requires no soil, making it mess-free and easy to maintain. It makes a perfect accessory for a bright windowsill or shelf and is especially suited to steamy bathrooms.
Air Plants, or Tillandsia, are rainforest plants which grow naturally on rocks and tree branches, gathering the moisture and nutrients they need from the air around them. Spiky tufts of foliage look good all year round, whilst in summer they’re topped with a bright-coloured bloom. These tropical plants need very little care to thrive – just plenty of light and humidity.
Height and spread: 15-20cm (6-8in).

Tillandsia are epiphytic plants which do not require compost to grow. Position Air Plants in bright, filtered light with good air circulation, at a minimum temperature of 5C (41F).
More Info Water frequently from spring to autumn by immersing the entire plant in rainwater or misting thoroughly. Allow the plant to completely drain and dry after each watering. Frequency of soaking can be reduced in winter. Feed monthly by adding a small amount of bromeliad fertiliser to misting water.
