*Air plant only, cholla pot sold separately

The Tillandsia tectorum ecuador is a xerophytic low-maintenance plant that needs more direct light and less water than any other Tillandsia. Native to the arid Andes in Peru and Ecuador, this Bromeliaceae family member has its leaves adapted for extreme weather conditions. Thus, the dense fuzzy white trichomes reflect the ultra-violet rays in native conditions. This plant grows anywhere between 6 to 8 inches but can be shorter or taller depending on the growing needs. The air plant is lightweight due to its snowball appearance. This winter-dormant Tectorum Ecuador grows slowly at a snail’s pace with the potential to bloom anytime during the year.

Growth Rate
The Tectorum Ecuador air plant is hugely slow-growing.

Flowering
The light pink Tillandsia flower grows out of reddish bracts on a mature Tectorum air plant.

Watering and Feeding
Compared to all other Tillandsias, the Tillandsia tectorum ecuador demands less watering due to the presence of so many trichomes. Soaking in water is a big no. Misting once every third week is ideal. This plant should be completely dry within an hour of misting. In drier climates, the frequency of misting may be increased, and in a humid climate, it may be decreased.

Soil
No soil is required for the plant. An essential Tillandsia Tectorum care tip is surrounding your air plant with rocks, sand, sea glass, or shells but not moss or soil.

Hardiness
The Tillandsia tectorum ecuador air plant grows well in hardiness zones of 10 and above. It is crucial to note that these air plants cannot tolerate temperatures less than 30° to 40°F (-1.1° to 4.4°C).

Light
Another important Tectorum Ecuador air plant care tip is that the plant grows well in direct sunlight.

Propagation
Offsets at the base of the air plant necklace are the best way for propagation.

The beautiful snowballs of drought-resistant Tectorum Ecuador are exceptionally popular. With their marked distinct identify, your air plant collection will go a notch higher with these around.

Great Simple Toys
Pattern Name: 8PCS No Stuffing Dog Toys, Pattern Name: 8PCS No Stuffing Dog Toys
We bought these for our puppy because she loves the crinkly sound. She usually has one around her. They are basic, but great. We have had them for months and they have held up. I wash them often because she plays with them so much. The crinkly sound has held up through many hand washes. These are great since they have no stuffing and can easily be washed. Cactus is her favorite and she frequently is walking around with it. The squeaker stopped working in the cactus, but it lasted about 6 months and I wash it the most. Squeakers work on the rest still. I have even bought a second set to save in case they stop selling them since she loves them so much.

More durable than they seem.
Pattern Name: No Stuffing Dog Toys
My 55lb bulldog has two chewing modes. For hard plastic, pigs ears, nylon, or rubber toys he is the terminator. For plush toys he chews and chews but never tears. These toys seemed so unsubstantial when I unboxed them. It’s been a week now with an hour or two of tug every day with the octopus toy. The toy is still intact. Except for the squeaker. It died in the first five minutes. These are smaller and thinner then I thought they would be, but also tougher. Good value for the price. Just supervise you dog while chewing. A liberated squeaker is a choking risk.

Holds Up Better Than Most Chew Toys and No Stuffing Mess
Pattern Name: No Stuffing Dog Toys
These have been a good set of toys, especially for a dog that likes to chew. My dog is a heavy chewer, and while she does still eventually get through them, they last longer than many other toys marketed for chewers. That alone makes them a better option compared to others I have tried. The no-stuffing design is a big benefit. Even when she does start to tear into them, there is no stuffing mess to deal with, which makes cleanup much easier. They all have squeakers, which keeps her engaged, although she does eventually chew those out as well. That is typical for her with any squeaky toy. What I like: Holds up longer than many other chew toys No stuffing, so less mess Squeakers keep the dog interested Good variety in the set Durable material for regular play Things to be aware of: Not indestructible for heavy chewers Squeakers may be removed over time Overall: These are a solid option for dogs that like to chew. They are not completely chew-proof, but they last longer than most and are much cleaner thanks to the no-stuffing design. My dog gets a lot of use and enjoyment out of them.
