SIZE: Small 2.5"- 3" on average
DESCRIPTION: Tillandsia cocoensis, commonly known as the "Cocos Island Air Plant," is native to Cocos Island, which is an uninhabited island located in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean. This plant has been described as a species for quite some time now, but it has recently been determined to be a variety of tenuifolia. As single plants, these only grow to be a handful of inches, but they produce offsets readily and eventually grow into clumps of 50+ plants. This listing is for a single offset, roughly 3” in size.
