check_circle In Stock
Tillandsia Cotton Candy 'Long Flower' is a selected cultivar of this hybrid air plant, renowned for its distinctly extended floral stem that rises well above the rosette. Originally developed from a cross between Tillandsia recurvifolia and Tillandsia stricta, this particular form is recognised for its long bloom display and pastel pink inflorescence. Native to South America, this epiphyte thrives mounted or suspended, drawing moisture and nutrients from the air.
