SIZE: Approximately 6” with an additional 6” spike. These will soon have pups growing on both the mother plant and off the spike as well. Many of them already have the pups forming. It is a neat example of how they propagate.
DESCRIPTION: These intermedia make a perfect demonstration piece showing how air plant pups can grow viviparously (along a bloom spike). Before you know it, your air plant will have 3 generations growing, and will continue to chain grow along the bloom spikes. It’s fascinating to see. These chains can form to be 3ft or larger.
