Wet tectorum vs. dry(ing) tectorum. These guys have sooo many trichomes and are, for some reason, always really expensive!

@llamadrama can they take a lot of water then? I have one that looks like the dry on the right but I spray it. I didn’t want to overwater and kill it.

@pixierose despite its appearance this plant does not need as much moisture as other airplants. It doesn't so well with long soaks and would rather be misted more. The tips on mine started browning so I ran water through them.
