Pet Air Plants are very special, real, LIVE plants from the Genus Tillandsia L. (also affectionately known as Tillies). Air Plants make wonderful pets for kids. These compact, quiet remarkable plants require minimal care that is at just the right level for a child to be able to perform all by themselves. Through pet air plant adoption a child can learn responsibility as they care for these plants, begin to see plants and nature in a whole new way, and possibly develop a lifelong love and appreciation for plants and nature as a whole. With proper care and attention, they can experience the magic of a plant's life cycle as they watch these remarkable little “pets” flourish, blush, flower and produce babies (pups)!
