Tillandsia confertiflora var nana

A highly attractive, dwarf selection of this beautiful air plant, showcasing a compact and symmetric rosette. True to its name "nana", it maintains a smaller stature than the standard species, featuring soft, gray-green leaves covered in fine silvery trichomes that can blush with a reddish tint under strong light. At maturity, it produces a striking, branched flower spike with bright orange-to-red bracts and purple petals, making it an eye-catching specimen.

• Light: Bright indirect light to filtered sun; high light levels keep the rosette tight and intensify the warm foliage colors.
• Temperature: 55–80°F (13–27°C); thrives comfortably in intermediate conditions and appreciates a slight drop in temperature at night.
• Humidity: 50–70%; enjoys moderate to high moisture but absolutely requires excellent, continuous air circulation to prevent rot.
• Watering: Mist thoroughly 2 to 3 times a week, or give it a brief weekly soak; always allow the plant to dry out completely within a few hours, ensuring no trapped water remains in the center.

Additional Notes

As an atmospheric epiphyte, this miniature air plant requires no soil and looks exceptional mounted on cork bark, driftwood, or displayed in a decorative container. Its compact size makes it perfect for smaller growing spaces. Ships bare root and well established; simply give it a light misting and shake out any excess water upon arrival.
