Distinctive Features

• Leaves: Soft, silvery-green leaves that form a rosette shape. The leaves are covered in fine trichomes, giving them a slightly fuzzy texture which helps them to trap moisture and nutrients from the air.
• Flowers: Produces vibrant pink and purple flowers that emerge from the centre of the rosette. The flowers are a beautiful contrast to the silvery foliage and add a touch of sweetness to this charming air plant.
• Growth Habit: This Tillandsia is an epiphyte, which means it naturally grows on trees and other surfaces, absorbing moisture and nutrients from the air and rain. It can be displayed in a variety of ways, such as in a hanging planter, mounted on driftwood, or simply placed in a decorative dish.

Care Tips

• Light: Bright, indirect light is best. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch the delicate leaves. An east-facing windowsill is often ideal.
• Water: Mist the plants thoroughly 2-3 times a week, ensuring that excess water drains away. Alternatively, you can soak the plants in a bowl of water for 20-30 minutes once a week. Allow the plants to dry completely before returning them to their display location. This is important to prevent rot.
• Air Circulation: Good air circulation is crucial for Tillandsias. Ensure that the plants are not placed in a stagnant or enclosed environment. A light breeze or a position near a fan can be beneficial.
• Temperature: Maintain warm temperatures between 15-29°C (59-85°F) for optimal growth. Avoid exposing these tropical gems to cold draughts or frost.
• Fertiliser: Use a diluted bromeliad or orchid fertiliser once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). This will help to encourage healthy growth and flowering.
