Tillandsia stricta 'Green'
check_circle In Stock
Tillandsia stricta 'Green' is a cultivated form of the species Tillandsia stricta, known for its lush green foliage and rapid growth cycle. Native to parts of Brazil, Paraguay, and northern Argentina, this air plant typically inhabits warm, humid environments where it grows on tree branches and occasionally rocks. The 'Green' form retains the species’ compact, rosette-forming structure but features glossy green leaves instead of the silver-grey typical of more xeric types. When flowering, it produces vivid pink bracts and delicate violet flowers, often within its first year of growth.

- Media: Mount on bark or wood; can also be displayed in open terrariums with ventilation
