Product Description:
*THIS ITEM IS FOR SHIPPING ONLY - PLEASE SEE SHIPPING POLICY *
This species of Tillandsia is native to Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Argentina. T. xiphioides showcases thick, succulent, leather-like leaves which allows it to go long periods of time without water. When in bloom T. xiphioides exhibits multiple large pure white, frilly edged flowers that are citrus scented—somewhat reminiscent of the scent of a Gardenia flower. This species grows best outdoors and likes strong indirect, partial to full sun. It is a more drought tolerant variety so it doesn’t need too much water. Good aeration is required for this plant and it must be protected from frost. Tillandsia xiphioides prefer to be mounted on a solid substrate that does not retain water. It can be grown on almost any imaginable decorative mount, including shells, rocks, slate, driftwood, etc.

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.

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.
