Tillandsia multiflora - Air Plant
Tillandsia multiflora is a beautiful air plant prized for its graceful rosette of silvery-green leaves that often develop attractive pink and blush tones when grown in bright conditions or approaching flowering. Its elegant, arching foliage and compact form make it a striking addition to modern indoor displays, terrariums and mounted arrangements.
Unlike traditional houseplants, this epiphytic species grows without compost, absorbing moisture and nutrients through specialised scales on its leaves. Mature plants produce colourful flower spikes followed by offsets, gradually forming attractive clumps that become even more impressive with age.
- Other names: Air Plant
- Useful to know: Non-toxic - safe around pets and children
- Eventual height: Can grow up to 20cm
- Origins: Central and South America
Tillandsia Care Sheet
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light with good air circulation. Gentle morning or late afternoon sunshine will enhance foliage colour.
Water: Soak the plant in room-temperature water for 20–30 minutes every 7–10 days, then shake off excess water and allow it to dry upside down before returning it to its display.
Soil/Nutrition: No compost is required. Feed once a month during spring and summer using a diluted bromeliad or air plant fertiliser added to the soaking water.
Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity with plenty of airflow. In warm, dry homes, occasional misting between soakings may be beneficial.
Pruning and propagation: Remove spent flower spikes after flowering. Mature plants naturally produce offsets (pups), which can be left attached to form clumps or removed once they reach around one-third of the parent plant's size.
Experience level: Beginner.
