Tillandsia schiedeana is a widely distributed species of air plant occurring from Mexico to northern South America, often found on trees or rocks in dry forests, semi-arid regions, and even coastal scrublands. It thrives at a range of elevations, from near sea level to over 2,000 metres. This species is noted for its adaptability and ease of cultivation. Its narrow, silvery-green leaves form a loose rosette and it produces small, tubular yellow flowers, which are sometimes tinged with red. It is named after the German botanist Christian Julius Wilhelm Schiede.
