Tillandsia ionantha 'Rubra' is a cultivated form of the widely distributed species Tillandsia ionantha, selected for its particularly vivid blush during the flowering phase. Native to Central America and Mexico, the species thrives in warm, humid forests, clinging to tree branches in bright, airy environments. The 'Rubra' cultivar stands out for its rich ruby to crimson colouring across the upper foliage when approaching bloom, a hue more saturated than the standard form.

Care Tips:

  • Light: Requires bright, filtered light; colour intensifies with increased exposure
  • Water: Mist 3–4 times weekly or soak briefly once a week; ensure complete drying
  • Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity with good airflow
  • Media: Mount on bark, cork, or other breathable surfaces; do not use soil
  • Temperature: Ideal range is 16–30°C; sensitive to frost
  • Fertiliser: Apply diluted tillandsia fertiliser monthly in the growing season
