Tillandsia recurvifolia x stricta green

Tillandsia Recurvifolia × Stricta ‘Green’ 

The Tillandsia Recurvifolia × Stricta ‘Green’ is an interesting ornamental hybrid belonging to the Bromeliaceae family, highly valued for its compact habit, hardiness, and rapid cluster formation. It is an air plant ideal for beginners and collectors.

This hybrid combines two well-known species:

The Tillandsia Recurvifolia, native to South America, contributes its compact growth, slightly more rigid leaves, and good tolerance to different conditions.

For its part, the Tillandsia Stricta ‘Green’, a selected form from Brazil, contributes with its vigor, ease of cultivation, and more marked green hue, as well as its rapid growth capacity.

The Tillandsia Recurvifolia × Stricta ‘Green’ develops compact to semi-dense rosettes, with narrow, firm, and slightly recurved leaves, ranging from green to grayish-green.

Its growth is fast and it produces offsets easily, forming dense and highly decorative clusters in a short time.

During the flowering season, generally in spring or summer, it develops an inflorescence with pinkish or reddish bracts and violet tubular flowers, with possible variations depending on the clone.

Thanks to its hardiness and ease of cultivation, this hybrid is ideal for air plant decoration, open terrariums, vertical gardens, or collections, making it a very versatile option.
