🌬️✨ Tillandsia Tectorum Ecuador – The Fluffy Cloud Plant That Floats Through Life ✨🌬️ (Small)
🌬️✨ Tillandsia Tectorum Ecuador – The Fluffy Cloud Plant That Floats Through Life ✨🌬️
Step aside, high-maintenance houseplants—the Tillandsia tectorum Ecuador is here to bring all the magic, fluff, and mystery your plant shelf needs. With its snowy-white fuzz, dreamy texture, and ability to survive without soil, this air plant is basically a botanical unicorn.
☀️ Sun = Glow Up – Loves bright, indirect light (think: mountain sunshine). The more light it gets, the fluffier and whiter those trichomes become. It’s like this plant is out here living its best spa day, every day.
💦 Misty, Not Soaked – Skip the soggy drama. This beauty prefers a gentle mist every week or so. Let it dry fully and fast—because soggy fuzz? Not the vibe.
🌬️ No Soil? No Problem. – Tectorum floats through life—literally. No pot, no mess, no rules. Just perch it on driftwood, shells, or your coolest crystal and let it do its thing like a chill little cloud with attitude.
Perfect for boho displays, minimalist homes, or anyone who’s ever wanted to keep a cloud as a pet, Tillandsia tectorum Ecuador is a showstopper that adds texture, wonder, and air-plant elegance to any space.
🌿☁️ Add this dreamy, fuzzball wonder to your collection—because soil is so last season.
COLD CLIMATES - ADD HEAT PACK
We strongly advise to include a Heat Pack (available on our shop) in order to protect the plant from temperature extremes. Any order that does NOT have a heat pack is not covered by the live plant guarantee.
Plant Sizing Guide
What Size Am I Getting? Let's Break It Down.
We get it—plant sizes can be confusing. Is a “small” the size of a golf ball or a grapefruit? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Below is a quick guide to help you understand what each size means when shopping our plants. Measurements refer to the plant body, not including the pot (unless noted).
Tiny
- Baby plants or starter plugs. May be rooted or freshly cut. 0.5"–1.5" wide.
- Example: Butterwort plug, small seedling
Small
- Young plant, well-rooted, 1.5"–3" wide or tall.
- Example: Aeonium cutting, sundew cluster
Medium
- Established plant, 3"–5" wide/tall. Ready for repotting or display.
- Example: 2–3 year-old cactus, flowering flytrap
Large
- Mature plant, 5"–8" wide/tall. Great for centerpieces or statement planters.
- Example: Dioscorea elephantipes, pitcher plant
XL (Collector Size)
- Rare or mature specimen, 8"+ or unusually large or sculptural in form.
- Example: Caudex giants, multi-head aeoniums
📦 Note:
- Pot sizes (if included) are listed separately on product pages.
- Some species naturally stay small—even large ones might only be a few inches wide. Check individual listings for details.
- Photos are of representative plants—your plant may vary slightly (because nature’s not into clones).
