We are located in Fort Myers Florida. Fort Myers was hit hard by Hurricane Ian. Your order will help us to rebuild the damage from this storm to our home and business. We have made some posts on our facebook and instagram with more information but we wanted to thank you. Please consider us for your air plant needs. Any future orders will be helpful and we will still be able to fill them and ship them. But those orders will help us to rebuild as we do not have insurance so orders will be what funds the rebuild of our home and business and keeps our employees employed.
This listing is for one medium/larger air plant. 
We were able to protect many plants but we couldn't put them all inside our warehouse. These plants weathered the storm and are still healthy but have some battered leaves from the storm. These plants made it through Hurricane Ian and survived but just need someone who can accept them and their imperfections. Show them love just like any plant but know they won't look perfect upon arrival. But they will still grow normally, bloom upon maturity and pup just like a normal plant. They just will have some leaf damage that makes them perfect in their own way.
B-Grade iona. Make sure to view all pictures as these are bgrade plants. Healthy plants however they have some brown tips and are a lot rimmed more than normal. These are great starter plants to become your own mother stock. These plants have also not gone through their color change or bloom so ypu will still be able to enjoy that process
Individual Air Plant. Iona Tillandsia
Ranges in size from 1-3"
Air plant may come to you green if we do not have any red/pink in stock. Air plant will turn red and bloom a purple flower.
Tillandsia Ionantha aka Iona
Native to Cosa Rica Mexico
Ionas are a smaller variety of air plants they range when mature from 2-3"
Iona's only flower once in their entire life cycle and change to a vibrant red towards maturity. This color change is only temporary and happens only once. Which is why we try to send them out green so the new owner can enjoy the color change and bloom.
Iona's start out green as juveniles
As mentioned each Iona will only flower once. However once the flower has dried remove by gently plucking the petals and removing the stalk as this promotes babies (aka "pups")
Iona's are a clumping Variety of air plant and if you prefer not to remove the pups they will form massive clumps over time. As leaves dry gently pull them away from the with sideways tugs. If the leaf resists it is not ready to be removed yet. The mother will eventually dry up and you can remove her from the pups. The gap that is left will be filled in eventually by pups.
