Tillandsia biflora var curvifolia

This epiphytic plant is prized for its soft, slender leaves featuring elegant purple or brown spotting. It stands out due to the distinctive curvature of its foliage, creating a dynamic and compact silhouette, while its colorful pink or reddish inflorescence makes it a highly attractive collector's item.

• Light: It requires bright but always filtered or indirect light. Avoid direct midday sun.
• Temperature: It thrives in moderate ranges, between 59-77°F (15-25°C). As a variety that typically originates from cloud forest climates, it prefers cool environments.
• Humidity: It needs high ambient humidity levels, preferably above 70%. Good air circulation is essential to prevent excess moisture from stagnating at the base and causing rot.
• Watering: It should be watered through frequent misting (3-4 times per week) or short 20-minute soaks once a week. Be sure to shake off excess water and allow the plant to dry completely.

Additional notes

This variety prefers superior water quality, such as rainwater or filtered water, as it is sensitive to salts and chlorine in tap water. Due to its growth habit, it is ideal for open terrariums or wood mounts where air can flow freely around its curved leaves.
