Description
Tillandsia Bartramii was named after the early naturalist, William Bartram from Florida, where the plant grows naturally. They have long, very thin, needle-like leaves, which are grey-green in color and these air plants can form into larger ball colonies. Plants currently sold as a young, individual piece, that will provide several months to a year of growth until it flowers and offsets.
Bartram’s air plant is a perennial that reproduces sexually as well as vegetatively. It is an epiphyte held on the limbs of trees by wiry roots which serve only to anchor the plant to its supporting limb and do not take up water or nutrients from the tree. T.bartramii is similar to T.juncea and T.setecea.
It is an interesting plant and a great addition to any collection.
