Tillandsia ehlersiana is a grey-leaved species native to the semi-arid regions of Chiapas, Mexico. It grows in dry oak forests and on rocky outcrops, typically at elevations between 600 and 1,000 metres. The plant is covered in dense trichomes, giving it a silvery appearance and helping it retain moisture in its warm, dry habitat. Its inflorescence is simple, producing tubular purple flowers. This species tends to favour more exposed conditions and is particularly drought-tolerant.

Care Tips

  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light; tolerates some direct morning sun.
  • Water: Mist 2–3 times weekly in summer; reduce in winter. Ensure full drying between waterings.
  • Humidity: Enjoys moderate humidity; 50–60% is ideal.
  • Media: No soil required; mount on wood, cork, or wire with good airflow.
  • Temperature: Thrives in 12–28°C; protect from frost.
  • Fertiliser: Use a bromeliad or orchid fertiliser monthly during growing season, diluted to ¼ strength.
  • Repotting: Not applicable; instead, reposition mounts as needed or separate pups once mature.
