Tillandsia Tenuifolia Air Plant

Tillandsia tenuifolia

Tillandsia tenuifolia is a delicate, grassy-leaved air plant with fine, arching foliage and soft pastel blooms that emerge on short, upright flower spikes. This compact species is easy to display in terrariums, driftwood mounts, or hanging globes, and makes a beautiful addition to any air plant collection. Its silvery-green leaves are lightly dusted with trichomes, giving it a soft glow and helping it absorb moisture from the air.

Native to tropical regions of Central and South America, Tillandsia tenuifolia thrives on humidity and fresh airflow. It’s perfect for adding texture and movement to minimal or sculptural displays.

PLANT CARE

• Light: Bright, indirect light; can tolerate some gentle morning sun
• Water: Soak in room temperature water for 20–30 minutes once or twice a week
• Humidity: High humidity preferred; mist between soakings if air is dry
• Considerations: Ensure the plant dries completely within 4 hours to prevent rot
