Plant Description

The Tillandsia aeranthos, a captivating member of the Bromeliaceae family, is an epiphytic plant known for its striking rosette of thin, arching, silver-green leaves. This air plant produces vibrant, tubular pink bracts and deep purple flowers that bloom with an enchanting contrast. Compact and lightweight, the Tillandsia aeranthos thrives without soil, relying on its specialized trichomes to absorb moisture and nutrients from the air. Its delicate, almost sculptural form and vivid colors make it a standout addition to natural displays.
