Bulbosa 'Belize' or 'Guatemala' is an easy-to-grow, low-maintenance houseplant that doesn’t require soil. It absorbs water and nutrients through specialized scales on its leaves, drawing everything it needs from the air. It thrives in low to bright indirect light and is perfect for beginners or seasoned plant lovers.
This unique air plant features a bulb-like base and produces offsets (or “pups”) that grow from the parent plant. These can be kept together as a cluster or separated to grow individually.
One great reason to bring air plants into your home is their natural ability to help purify the air you breathe.
Care Tips:
-
Avoid placing it in an enclosed terrarium, as it needs good air circulation.
-
As an epiphyte, it grows on other surfaces—never in soil—so get creative with placement!
-
Try displaying it in a shallow bowl or vase with rocks or sand, attach it to driftwood with clear fishing line, or place one in a mini magnetic container on your fridge.
-
Mist it every two days, especially around the base.
-
Provide bright, indirect light—no direct sunlight.
Sizes Available:
-
Small: 0.5–1 inch wide, up to 6 inches long
-
Large: 1.5–2 inches wide, about 8–10 inches long
Each plant is unique and may have some variation in shape, size, and root development. They tend to have a wild, whimsical growth habit—which is part of their charm!
