Tillandsia Velutina are hardy plants with medium to dark green, velvety foliage. When grown in brighter light they will lighten in color and blush a bright red. All of our plants ship green, however, when available this item will ship blushing. We provide care instructions for your customers in every order at no additional cost. PLEASE NOTE: For cold weather shipping we check the weather in your area during shipping times and add heat packs as necessary.
