Tillandsia flavoviolacea 'Moonlight' is a cultivated form of a naturally rare species native to the cloud forests of Veracruz, Mexico. The species itself is known for its unusual floral coloration—its name derives from the Latin 'flavo' (yellow) and 'violacea' (violet). The 'Moonlight' cultivar enhances these subtle tones, producing a soft violet inflorescence often accompanied by creamy-white or pale pink bracts. Found in humid, high-altitude environments, the plant benefits from cool temperatures, steady airflow, and diffused light.
Care Tips:
Light: Prefers filtered light; avoid harsh midday sun
Water: Mist 3–4 times per week or soak gently once weekly; never allow to stay wet for prolonged periods
Humidity: Enjoys high humidity (60–80%) with good airflow
Media: Mount on cork or tree fern slab; do not pot in soil
Temperature: Optimum range is 12–24°C; does not tolerate frost
Fertiliser: Use a weak bromeliad or tillandsia fertiliser monthly during growing season
