Tillandsia araujei
check_circle In Stock
Tillandsia araujei is a species native to southeastern Brazil, where it grows in exposed areas on rocks and shrubs in dry, coastal habitats and open highlands. It forms dense, vertical clusters of narrow, arching leaves that are stiff and coated with fine trichomes, giving the plant a silvery-green appearance. The species naturally grows in columnar formations as offsets emerge along a horizontal stem. When in bloom, it produces small, tubular flowers that are typically pale pink to lilac in colour. This species is valued for its orderly, architectural growth and tolerance of dry, bright conditions.

- Media: Mount on cork, wood, or stone; ideal for vertical or hanging displays
