ID help please for both of these new babies.  
I know one is an air plant but it had a very specific name and I forgot. 😩

Do you have the air plant in dirt?

I purchased it at a nursery and it came like that. I was just as confused but I will be removing it from the soil this weekend.

Left one is a Caladium Lindenii

### NamasteWithMyPlants commented on 2026-01-30

Neither looks like an air plant. Maybe they meant an air purifier plant?

The right is a hybrid. “cross between Tillandsia intermedia and Tillandsia streptophylla”
