Flower bud sprouted overnight but didn’t know this plant has flowers. Bought it at a market, what’s this plant?

    Tillandisa genus

    In the pineapple family Bromeliaceae

    That’s probably some air plant in the genus Tillandsia.

    Looks like an air plant, or epiphyte, of some kind.

    Thats an airplant. Needs sun, light spritzing with water couple times a week, airplant fertilizer spritzed once a month. If lucky it will also sprout babies around base

  5. Looks like a Tillandsia ionantha. Come join us in r/airplants

    Airplant I think it’s a kind of bromeliad. Not positive about the bromeliad part though

    Wait for the suckers to grow to about half the size of the main plant, then you can basically separate them and get new babies.

    One plant basically blooms once only but you can keep for suckers till the mother plant dies.

    Issa cupcake! Or an airplant cleverly disguised as a cupcake
