Tillandsia 'Cotton Candy Green' is a cultivated hybrid between Tillandsia stricta and Tillandsia recurvifolia. It forms a dense green rosette with fine trichomes that lend a subtle silver hue. Unlike its sister cultivar 'Cotton Candy Pink', this form exhibits a greener leaf tone and a lighter pastel inflorescence, sometimes tending towards pale salmon or peach. While not found in the wild, its parent species are native to Brazil and other parts of South America, typically growing in humid forests and occasionally on exposed rock faces.
