Tillandsia harrisii
check_circle In Stock
Tillandsia harrisii is a striking species endemic to Guatemala, where it grows on trees and rocky outcrops in dry forests at mid-elevations. This plant is easily recognised by its thick, soft leaves covered in dense silvery trichomes, which give it a velvety appearance. It forms an open, upright rosette and produces a vibrant red floral spike topped with violet tubular flowers. Adapted to bright, arid conditions, T. harrisii is a resilient species and a popular choice for its unique texture and contrast between foliage and bloom.
Care Tips:
- Light: Requires bright, indirect to direct light; colour and form improve with strong light
- Water: Mist 2–3 times per week or soak occasionally; allow to dry fully between waterings
- Humidity: Tolerates low humidity well; ensure steady airflow
- Media: Mount on cork, driftwood, or stone; avoid enclosed containers
- Temperature: Ideal range is 16–30°C; protect from frost
- Fertiliser: Use diluted tillandsia fertiliser monthly during the growing season
