Description
Tillandsia Araujei is a species of air plant endemic to Brazil. It has stiff, pine-needle leaves that are a bright green color. This air plant forms a long stem from which the leaves develop out of. The stem has several roots extending out of it from which it can attach to a rock face or tree branch. Tillandsia Araujei does well growing mounted on a piece of wood or bark.
The air plant produces long, rose-colored bracts with white flowers. The species grows into a clump that can be divided. This species does well grown hanging from its stem. This prevents water catching in the leaves and causing rot.
Tillandsia Araujei has short, curved leaves having adapted to drying quickly from heavy rains. They can not tolerate low light and will perish. Place in good natural lighting spots. It can be grown inside, like most other Tillandsias, but ensure that you water/mist it sufficiently.
