Tillandsia Stricta Green

Tillandsia Stricta ‘Grün’

The Tillandsia Stricta ‘Grün’ is a popular variety of Tillandsia Stricta belonging to the Bromeliaceae family, highly valued for its more intense green color, rapid growth, and great ease of cultivation. It is an air plant ideal for beginners and collectors alike.

The Tillandsia Stricta is native to Brazil, where it grows naturally as an epiphytic plant in environments with bright light, good ventilation, and a warm climate with moderate humidity, making it one of the most adaptable species.

The ‘Grün’ form (which means “green”) is characterized by having greener, less silvery leaves, with a lower density of trichomes, which indicates a greater preference for somewhat more humid environments compared to other more xerophytic forms.

The Tillandsia Stricta ‘Grün’ develops compact rosettes of thin, soft, and slightly flexible leaves, vivid green in color, with a dense and very decorative structure.

Its growth is rapid and it produces numerous offsets, easily forming dense clusters.

During the flowering season, generally in spring or summer, it develops an inflorescence with intense pink bracts and tubular violet flowers, which are very striking.

Thanks to its growth, its resilience, and its ease of cultivation, the Tillandsia Stricta ‘Grün’ is ideal for open terrariums, vertical gardens, collections, or mountings on wood and cork, making it one of the best choices for getting started.
