Tillandsia Funckiana clump

Tillandsia Funckiana ‘Pulk’

The Tillandsia Funckiana ‘Pulk’ is an interesting selected form of Tillandsia Funckiana belonging to the Bromeliaceae family, highly valued for its more compact growth, dense structure, and highly decorative appearance. It is an air plant ideal for collectors and detailed arrangements.

The Tillandsia Funckiana is native to Venezuela and Colombia, where it grows naturally as an epiphytic plant in environments with high light, good ventilation, and moderate humidity, adapting well to different conditions.

The ‘Pulk’ form is characterized by its more compact and clustered growth, with shorter and denser leaves than the standard form, creating a more closed and ornamental structure.

The Tillandsia Funckiana ‘Pulk’ develops stems covered with thin, rigid, and densely arranged leaves, ranging from green to grayish-green, forming small structures that resemble dense branches or small conifers.

Its growth is moderate, and over time it produces pups, forming very decorative compact clusters.

During the flowering season, generally in spring or summer, it develops intense red tubular flowers, one of the most striking features of the species.

Thanks to its shape and flowering, the Tillandsia Funckiana ‘Pulk’ is ideal for collections, open terrariums, miniature arrangements, or displays on wood and cork, where its structure can stand out.
