Tillandsia glabrior is a compact species native to Mexico, typically found growing in moist tropical environments at mid-elevations. Once considered a variety of Tillandsia schiedeana, it was elevated to full species status in 2004. This air plant is recognised for its fine, recurved grey-green leaves that form dense clumps through rapid offsetting. The foliage is moderately trichomed, giving it a soft silver appearance under bright light. It produces a short inflorescence with magenta to yellow tubular flowers, adding a splash of colour to its otherwise subtle form.

Care Tips:

  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light; tolerates some gentle direct sun
  • Water: Mist 2–3 times weekly or soak briefly; ensure quick drying
  • Humidity: Thrives in moderate humidity with good air circulation
  • Media: Mount on cork, wood, or stone; also suitable for open terrariums with ventilation
  • Temperature: Optimal range is 15–30°C; avoid frost and excessive cold
  • Fertiliser: Use diluted tillandsia fertiliser monthly during active growth
