Description: Tillandsia balbisiana is native to Central America, Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, Florida and the West Indies. In nature the plant is actually myrmecophytic, which means it grows in a symbiotic relationships with a colony of ants. This plant is another of the pseudo-bulbous Tillandsia varieties although the base is less densely packed when compared to T. bulbosa or T. pseudobailei. It's foliage is bright green, long, flat and thin. The plant grows quite tall, and the leaves will eventually curl and hang downward. This plant produces a tall inflorescence spike which is different shades of red / orange. The flowers are tubular and purple in colour. 

Position: Growing this species indoors is possible. However you will need to make sure it is next to a window with bright light, and good air flow. This species will thrive outside under bright, but indirect sunlight. Under a tree, verandah or deck, or in a shadehouse are all great locations for this plant. Ensure the location you choose has good air flow to help the plant dry out between watering. This species can withstand low temperatures, however it must be protected from frost. This species can be grown suspended or mounted on a solid substrate that does not retain water (timber, cork bark, etc). You can attach this plant to the surface using coated wire, fishing line, or an adhesive such as silicone, hot glue, or no-more nails. Do not cover the base of the plant with moss or any other substrate as it may rot.

Watering: As a general rule, a plant in a hot position will require watering every 2-3 days. In a dark, humid environment watering once per week can often be adequate. This can be achieved by misting or dunking the plant. If outdoors, a hose can be used. When dunking a plant, leave submerged in a bowl of water for 10-20 minutes before shaking off excess water. Air plants love to dry out completely between each watering and must never have water sitting at their base as this will cause the plant to rot.

Fertilisation: We recommend fertilising your Air Plants once a fortnight in the warmer months and once a month through winter. We sell Air Plant Fertiliser in our "Accessories" section. Simply give the plant one or two sprays after watering.

Each living plant is unique and may vary slightly in size, colour or shape depending on the season. Flowering plants are sent when available.

Good Fit Out of the Box
Size: 9, Color: Black
The shoes came with the correct size and is a good fit. They were originally pretty stiff, but are much better now after breaking them in. They look good. but as other's have said, they are made of synthetic leather and in my opinion have kind of a plastic look to them. The quality is good with ridged rubbber soles. I thought they were kind of expensive, but then again I haven't purchased these type of shoes in a while. A family member told me that if they were real leather, they would have been a lot more expensive. For what the shoes are I would recommend the purchase.

I wanted to love these
Size: 9, Color: Black Leather
These are very good looking in person, especially the buckles and the pop of red on black. Alas, I have another pair of Marc Joseph shoes to compare comfort and fit, and this pair simply hurts my feet.

These shoes ARE NOT LEATHER as advertised!
Size: 14, Color: Black
I own 4 pair of Marc Joseph shoes. All were Amazon advertised as Leather uppers and received as such. Made in Brazil out of real leather. Good quality shoes and a fair price. My recent purchases of 2 pair of Marc Jospeh shoes are Amazon advertised as" Leather Uppers". They are NOT leather and I sent them back to Amazon. Made in China. To me this is a bait and switch. Product descriptions should be honest and complete and reveal origin. My previous purchases stated "Made in Brazil" and "Leather Uppers." Since they were Marc Joseph, I thought these 2 recent pair were creditably described so I ordered based on my prior satisfied experience. Shame on me. Marc Joseph has lost a loyal customer.
