Tillandsia fasciculata
Tillandsia fasciculata is a bold and architectural air plant with long, arching silver-green leaves that form a large, open rosette. Covered in fine silvery trichomes, the foliage absorbs moisture and nutrients directly from the air, allowing the plant to grow without soil. Its impressive size and sculptural form make it a striking feature in any air plant collection.
When mature, this spectacular species produces a dramatic upright flower spike with colourful bracts in shades of red, orange or yellow, followed by tubular purple flowers. Native to tropical forests, it thrives in bright, airy conditions and looks stunning displayed on driftwood, mounted on cork bark or as a standalone statement piece.
- Other names: Giant Air Plant, Cardinal Air Plant
- Useful to know: Non-toxic - safe around pets and children
- Eventual height: Can grow up to 60cm
- Origins: Central and South America, the Caribbean and the southern United States
