Tillandsia ionantha is a small species native to Central America and Mexico, where it grows in semi-arid regions, tropical forests, and occasionally on exposed cliffs. It forms a compact rosette of narrow leaves covered in fine trichomes. During its flowering cycle, the inner leaves often blush red or orange, followed by the emergence of violet tubular flowers. This species is highly variable, with numerous regional forms differing in size, leaf texture, and intensity of colour change.

  • Water: Rinse or soak 2–4 times per week, depending on humidity
  • Humidity: Prefers 50–70% relative humidity
  • Media: Grows well mounted or placed in an open terrarium
  • Temperature: Tolerates 10–30°C; protect from frost
  • Fertiliser: Apply diluted bromeliad fertiliser once a month
