About
Tillandsia Biotope...
|
Tillandsia : Tillandsias,
commonly known as Airplants, is
the largest genus of the pineapple family (Bromeliaceae) comprising over 500
species.
Tillandsias are often epiphytic, meaning that they grow on - but do not
harm - other plants, they do not need soil to grow and they absorb
water and nutrients through their leaves.
Biotope
: an area of
uniform environmental conditions occupied by a community of plants and
animals.

At Tillandsia Biotope, we have the largest
collection of tillandsias (airplants) in
Singapore. We
started selling airplants in December 2003, since then we have been bringing
in shipments after shipments of airplants and are continually sourcing for
new species, hybrids or cultivars.
Our aim is to provide a little something for
everyone. At Tillandsia Biotope, you can find very common and cheap species
as well as the really exotic, rare and extremely expensive airplants. There
will definitely be a suitable plant for you whether you are a novice or an
experienced tillandsia collector.
In response to numerous requests made by our
customers for other quirky plants, we have added new group of plants like
the Pet Plants (these are small cactus & succulents grown in specially
manufactured capsules) and Pet Orchids (tissue-cultured orchids grown in
airtight containers).
You can purchase our plants online.

About Tillandsia Biotope's Website ...
In the past, there is virtually no information
about growing airplants in
Singapore’s
environment. Since the launch of this website on August 2004, many members
have taken a lot of precious time and effort to write about their planting
experiences and post photos of their lovely plants on the website.
With their continual input, the website has
grown into a very good resource centre for all who are interested in
planting airplants in
Singapore.
You are cordially invited to join us on our continuous journey to learn more
about these delightful and fascinating plants...
