Product Description:
Tillandsia schiedeana is native to Mexico, Central America, the West Indies, Venezuela and Colombia. This plant has abundant trichomes and can withstand higher temperatures, more sun, and less water than most air plants. Named after the botanist Christian Julius Wilhelm Schiede, it has velvety soft green/purple leaves that are long and thin and intertwine to eventually form an impressive clump. When in bloom they have a bright red flower spike with yellow flowers. A bright sunny environment with moderate watering is recommended.

In some instances, the florists’ photo may represent an overall theme or look and include a one-of-a-kind vase which cannot be exactly replicated. Although the actual bouquet may not precisely match the photo, its temperament will. Occasionally, substitutions of flowers or containers happen due to weather, seasonality and market conditions which may affect availability. If this is the case with the gift you've selected, the local florist will ensure that the style, theme and color scheme of your arrangement is preserved and will only substitute items of equal or higher value.
Every gift ordered through BloomNation is personally hand-delivered by the local florist. Each local florist sets their own delivery area and fee.
Most florists offer same-day hand delivery, but may have different order received cut-off times for same-day delivery that are based off of the recipient’s time zone. Florists that offer same day delivery display their same-day delivery cut-off time in their store detail section. Orders received after that time may be delivered the following day. Please note some florists may not make deliveries on Sunday.
