The plants I received don't look exactly like the ones pictured, but they do look very different from each other. The largest is 5 inches and is about to bloom, the smallest is 2 inches. One of the plants has a baby growing on the side. They're all very healthy, and look better than AND cost much less than what the nurseries around me sell.
These are great! They arrived much more quickly than anticipated (shipped Saturday and arrived Friday morning). Each Airplant was individually packaged in a recyclable paper bag (made in USA!) and labeled accordingly, and they cared to additionally take the time to include a care sheet. I am exceptionally happy, very professional-- thank you!!
I spent time reviewing comments on several sellers for air plants and chose this seller for the great reviews, affordable pricing, and variety. Arrived packaged well with all placed together in a brown paper bag. The air plants were lovely and appeared healthy. It was a nice assortment and all about 2-3" in size. Forgot To take pictures of them when it first arrived but here is 2 of the 5 received. Don't forget to soak them in water for at least 30min-1hr(instructions vary from different websites), dry, and then use however you decide. I am happy with the purchase and would order again from this seller.
My secret Santa recipient didn't give me much to go on but said they liked plants. So, I thought I could put something together that she could keep at the office with little maintenance. I have posted a video.
I've bought two sets of these air plants at different times from this seller and am very pleased with both. Each set arrived quickly and were well packaged. Each individual air plant was in a little white bag with an identification label (which I appreciated) and were healthy. I was quite surprised that one in particular was huge and had already produced a pup. I soaked them per instructions, but I've been misting them daily with creek water - and wow do they LOVE it! They've just grown huge. So, I'd buy with confidence.
UPDATE 12/14/14: Still thriving; however, the winter inside air is drier and humidity is lower, so I'm soaking them weekly now in rainwater (creek level is low and it's too hard to get to right now), and medium-misting daily. (I had been heavy misting them every other day and light misting on the in-between days) (climate is dry s/e WA). They're bigger than ever. (They also get good light and plenty of natural air circulation.)

These are so cool! I'm glad I finally ordered some and. Was glad to get a handful for the price. I love that each plant was very different from the others, it was a great variety!
As this was my first time buying air plants, I didn't know about all the important details about caring for them. I've read some things that spritzing doesnt provide enough water and soaking them weekly is kind of a pain considering you have to set them out to dry. Be extra careful about letting water sit on them! Especially the base. I killed one plant that I was keeping in a sea shell when I was trying out spritzing it for watering- the shell didn't evaporate inside and caused the base to get moldy and rot :(
SO enjoying my airplants....for me, I found soaking them in distilled water for 8 hours 1 day per week keeps them happy....LOVE them, clients compliment me on them all the time! Haven't had to use the fertilizer thus far - its been about 4 months now!
I love these little plants. They are a little bigger than I expected. Very beautiful, healthy looking plants.
My only complaint is one of the plants was damaged during shipping. It has about 5 leaves that are bent in half. A couple of leaves fell off and were in the bottom of the bag when I opened it, and few more are just dangling from the bottom of the plant.
They arrived way earlier than the estimated delivery date.
**Update 3/10/19**
In less than a month after receiving the plants, the hairy looking plant died about 2 weeks later the tall stringy one died. (the plants in the 3rd and 4th pictures) Don't know what went wrong. I soak them in water for a few hours once a week
My plants arrived today and they appear to be very healthy. I gave them a 10 minute soak in a water and they're doing great. They are on the smaller side, but for the price I don't mind one bit. There are a few that were different than what was pictured, but again it doesn't bother me much. I would order from this seller again in the future. Thank you!
Plants arrived faster than expected, good variety and they look healthy. I will be soaking them for at least 2 hrs as the leaflet recommends and then i will put maybe 3 of them in a glass terrarium and probably gift the other two.
I’m satisfied with the value and the product i have received.
