Tillandsia jucunda is a charming species native to Argentina and Bolivia, typically found in dry, rocky habitats and open forests at mid to high elevations. It forms a tight, symmetrical rosette of soft, grey-green leaves, which flush pink when the plant enters its blooming phase. From the centre, it produces short spikes of fragrant, tubular flowers in shades of pale pink to lavender. Its small size, ease of care, and attractive blush make it popular among Tillandsia growers and collectors.
