Description

ionantha mexican air plant care Tillandsia - ionantha 'Mexico'Description: The form of Tillandsia ionantha from Mexico has very thick, curving leaves. T. ionantha is one of the most attractive of the smaller species. Most of the year it is green, but it will turn a bright Pink when it blooms in order to attract hummingbirds to pollinate it. This plant has narrow, tubular flowers which rise from the foliage and are a deep purple. This plant produces multiple offsets over time to become a large cluster. Position:

Description: The form of Tillandsia ionantha from Mexico has very thick, curving leaves. T. ionantha is one of the most attractive of the smaller species. Most of the year it is green, but it will turn a bright Pink when it blooms in order to attract hummingbirds to pollinate it. This plant has narrow, tubular flowers which rise from the foliage and are a deep purple. This plant produces multiple offsets over time to become a large cluster.

Position: They should receive bright, indirect sunlight. Indoors, an east or west facing window area is ideal. Outdoors under partially shaded conditions is fine but in the colder states protection from frost is required, so an undercover or indoors area is more appropriate. 

Watering: As a general rule, a plant in a hot position will require watering every 2-3 days. In a dark, humid environment watering once per week can often be adequate. This can be achieved by misting or dunking the plant. If outdoors, a hose can be used. When dunking a plant, leave submerged in a bowl of water for 10-20 minutes before shaking off excess water. Air plants love to dry out completely between each watering and must never have water sitting at their base as this will cause the plant to rot.

Fertilisation: We recommend fertilising your Air Plants once a fortnight in the warmer months and once a month through winter. We sell Air Plant Fertiliser in our "Decor" section and this bottle can be diluted to create 1L of fertiliser.

Each living plant is unique and may vary slightly in size, colour or shape depending on the season. Flowering plants are sent when available.

Excellent Quality and Worth Every Penny!
Size: 11.25“, Color: black-6 pack
I recently purchased the LEOPO 12-inch Shelf Brackets, Thick Heavy Duty Industrial Brackets, and I couldn’t be more impressed. The craftsmanship is exceptional—solid, well-constructed, and clearly designed with attention to detail. Installation was quick and effortless, and the brackets held perfectly level and secure right from the start. They feel incredibly sturdy once mounted, providing reliable support and excellent stability for heavier shelving loads. The overall durability and performance exceeded my expectations, especially for the price. I’d highly recommend these shelf brackets to anyone looking for strong, stylish, and dependable hardware to upgrade their storage or décor setup.

Perfect
Size: 9.25”, Color: black-4 pack, Size: 9.25”, Color: black-4 pack
very nice brackets..very sturdy. Fits a 1x10 board perfect. Comes with everything you need and a.cool little level also. I loved them.so much I bought another pack and decided to add more shelves for my plants. It was easier to mount the shelf to the bracket then mount the whole shelf. Holds almost all my plants some are pretty heavy.

Well made brackets
Size: 11.25“, Color: black-6 pack, Size: 11.25“, Color: black-6 pack
These are nicely manufactured in that they are all exactly the same (with no variations) and with nice countersunk holes for the provided black flat head wood screws. I used a stained 1x12 #2 whitewood (Eastern Pine) from Lowes for the shelves. With these brackets solidly installed into wall studs at 32" on center (every other stud) the 1x12 shelf will easily support a heavy book load. I like the look better than the brackets that have the vertical leg below the shelf. It looks a lot cleaner. It is probably inevitable that your stud layout will result in a bracket or two needing to be installed between solid wood studs. In this case, do NOT use the sheetrock wall anchors provided with the brackets as they will pull out of the wall under an appreciable load. Instead, get some "Snaptoggle" toggle bolts and replace the provided bolts with #10-24 x 1.25" flat head machine screws in black. These toggle bolts are incredibly strong and easy to install. I am adding a postscript to my review regarding bracket spacing recommendations. With a heavy book load, the 1x12 shelf boards don't sag with the brackets spaced 32" apart, however I have found that the brackets themselves are overstressed by about 30% (they are only rated at 80# each.) Heavy books weigh up to about 36# per lineal foot so the maximum spacing of the brackets should be 24" apart. At 32" apart, they won't pull out of the wall if they are fastened into studs but they will sag a little bit back to front under this load. So I added additional brackets in between the installed brackets and now they are 16" apart at the heavy book shelf. The load on each bracket is now less than 50# but they STILL sag about 3/16" from back to front when loaded with books! No danger of structural failure and the sag is not really noticeable.
