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.
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.
