The Tillandsia duratii is unique for its long, winding shape and fragrant blooms.

The endangered Tillandsia fasciculata hybrid leaves grow in a vertical fashion. This plant will produce an impressive bloom when in its bloom cycle.

TILLANDSIA FASCICULATA

Native to Central America, South America, and some parts of the southern United States, this type of Tillandsia will grow rather large and will display a large inflorescence that is quite colorful. This plant is generally found in the wild attached to large oak or cypress trees in areas with higher levels of moisture and humidity. This Tillandsia is endangered in the US, but this is mainly due to the natural infestation of insects, rather than illegal harvesting or over-collection.

TILLANDSIA CYANEA

This type of Tillandsia is commonly referred to “Pink Quill,” due to its large bloom spike that is bright pink in color and will last for a prolonged period of time. Native to the rainforest in Ecuador, this is one of a few Tillandsia species that can be potted in soil. The cyanea should be potted in a fast-draining mix, as used with orchids. Though slow to do so, when the cyanea does finally bloom, it emits delicate pink and white flowers out of its dark pink bloom spike.
