Tillandsia Capitata Red blushes a deep red with a coral center when it is close to blooming. Mature plants will hold their color most of the year. This plant has long thick leaves. All of our plants ship green/not in bloom however, when available this item will ship with color. Grow it in a higher filtered light to bring out its magnificent color!
Note: Our current selection is small plants only. As this plant grows and matures it will begin coloring.
These plants are low maintenance, making them a great choice for people who are new to indoor plants.
They need regular daily indirect or filtered sunlight (so fine for desks, shelves, bathrooms or bedrooms). A weekly water is all they require - although you can always give them a mist in between if they look a little dry.
Air plants prefer regular air circulation, so we suggest open terrariums rather than the kind with lids.
We stock an air plant fertilizer which is ideal for this plant - check out the 'Supplies' section of our shop to see more. We also have a wide range of fillers which you can use as a base in any plant pot you might use. Orchid bark is a great choice for this!
