  • The Purple Urchin with Assorted Tillandsia Air Plant is a charming natural pairing that combines the sculptural beauty of a sea urchin shell with the effortless appeal of a Tillandsia, a member of the Bromeliad family native to the forests, mountains, and deserts of Central and South America. Tillandsias are epiphytes, meaning they absorb water and nutrients through their leaves rather than roots, earning them the popular nickname "air plants." This set makes a distinctive gift and a conversation-starting addition to any home.

    The purple sea urchin shell serves as a naturally hollowed vessel, cradling a small Tillandsia variety chosen from a rotating assortment of species. Air plant leaves are typically slender and arching, ranging in color from silvery green to deep green, often with fine trichomes that give the foliage a soft, frosted texture. The compact size of this set makes it ideal for display on shelves, windowsills, or as a centerpiece, and the purple hue of the urchin shell adds a rich, oceanic color accent that complements nearly any décor style.

    This set is well suited for bathrooms, kitchens, desks, and any bright living space where it can soak up indirect light. Because Tillandsias require no soil and no traditional pot, they are one of the most versatile and space-friendly plants available. This plant is best placed away from curious cats and dogs, and displayed out of reach of young children to keep the delicate urchin shell and plant intact.
  • Tillandsia air plants thrive in bright, indirect light. Place your Purple Urchin set near a window that receives several hours of filtered sunlight each day, ideally within one to three feet of an east or west-facing window. Avoid direct afternoon sun, which can scorch the delicate leaves, but also avoid dim corners where insufficient light will slow growth and reduce vibrancy.

    Water your air plant by gently misting it two to three times per week, or by submerging it in room-temperature water for 20 to 30 minutes once a week. After soaking, turn the plant upside down and shake off any excess water, then allow it to dry completely in a well-ventilated spot before returning it to the urchin shell. Standing water trapped at the base of the leaves can cause rot, so thorough drying is essential.

    One of the greatest appeals of Tillandsia is that no soil is needed at all. The air plant simply rests inside the sea urchin shell, which acts purely as a decorative holder. Good air circulation around the plant is far more important than any growing medium, so avoid enclosing the plant in a sealed container or placing it in a spot with stagnant air.

    Tillandsias prefer temperatures between 50°F and 90°F (10°C to 32°C) and do well in the typical range of most indoor environments. They appreciate moderate humidity, making bathrooms and kitchens naturally suitable spots. Keep the plant away from cold drafts, air conditioning vents, and heat sources, as sudden temperature swings can stress the foliage.

    Fertilizing is optional but can encourage blooming and offset production. Use a bromeliad or Tillandsia-specific liquid fertilizer diluted to one quarter of the recommended strength, and add it to your soaking water once a month during spring and summer. Avoid over-fertilizing, as too many nutrients can harm the plant's delicate leaf trichomes.
  • USDA Hardiness Zones 9-11 | Minimum temperature: 25°F (-4°C)

    Tillandsia air plants can be grown outdoors year-round in warm, frost-free climates within Zones 9 to 11, where they thrive in sheltered spots with bright, filtered light and good airflow. In cooler zones, bring the plant indoors before nighttime temperatures drop below 50°F (

The Mitt is it.
I ordered the applicator because the Poli Glow Kit on hand was ordered and received a couple of years ago and it had the old chamois covered rectangular applicator. I could tell by looking that the mitt was the better solution. Also, the mitt was described well in an online video, so using it was easy to learn. The results were fantastic and I am very pleased with it. The only thing I would change is to add some more information on how often to replenish the mitt and with how much Poli Glow liquid. I wasn't sure if I was skimping or wasting the material. As I approached halfway, I couldn't tell if I was going to run out before I finished, so I tried to be as frugal as possible. Turns out, I had liquid left over.
