Description
Tillandsia Paucifolia grow as epiphytes on other plants. They use their roots primarily for anchorage onto a branch or rock. In the wild, they are found growing on pine trees in Florida, however they have no preference to which tree they are placed into. It has been reported that T.paucifolia can quickly take over a branch with it’s offsetting. Each specimen of T.paucifolia can grow to around 10-35cm in length.
They prefer bright, exposed areas and enjoy the regular watering. Just remember not to allow this water to sit in the base or pockets of the leaves. Dry off well by shaking the plant or placing it on its side.
The floral bracts are leathery to the touch, and bloom a splendid pink to lavender colored flower.
