Tillandsia ‘Dilemma’
The Tillandsia ‘Dilemma’ is an attractive ornamental hybrid belonging to the Bromeliaceae family, formed by the species Tillandsia Aeranthos Grisea and Tillandsia Bergeri, highly valued for its compact size, balanced shape, and ease of cultivation. It is an ideal air plant for both beginners and collectors.
This hybrid is known in cultivation for its great adaptability and uniform growth, being a very rewarding plant in different conditions.
The Tillandsia ‘Dilemma’ develops compact rosettes of narrow to medium, firm, and slightly arched leaves, gray-green in color with the presence of trichomes, which allows it to adapt well to different humidity levels.
Its growth is moderate to fast and it produces pups easily, forming dense clusters over time.
During the flowering season, it produces an inflorescence very similar to the Aeranthos, but with a considerably larger size.
Thanks to its resistance, size, and ease of cultivation, the Tillandsia ‘Dilemma’ is ideal for collections, air plant decoration, mounting on wood, or mixed compositions, making it very versatile.
