Flowering
The flowering of this stunning plant takes place from November to March. The vibrant blooms are purple in color and look fascinating in any corner.

Kolbii plants are low-maintenance that do not require soil. Appropriate watering as well as lighting conditions combined with ample airflow help in their growth!

Blooms are growing in!

The exciting thing with the new air plants received is seeing the new (to me) blooms, and this plant already has one coming! BUT, that is not the most surprising thing of this well wrapped and sealed delivery... There was a hitchhiker from CA that tried to scurry into my VA yard! I actually can't believe it hasn't happened before. No worries though, I did not let it get away, I've seen what happens in movies!
