Tillandsia brachycaulos is a fast-growing epiphytic air plant species native to Mexico, Central America, and parts of South America. It typically grows in warm, humid forests, attaching itself to trees or rocks without drawing nutrients from them. The plant has soft, green leaves that form a rosette and blush a vibrant red when preparing to bloom. Its flowers are tubular and usually violet to purple in colour.

Care Tips

  • Light: Bright, indirect light is best. Some direct morning or evening sun can enhance the red or pink blush on the leaves. However, avoid intense midday sun, which can scorch the leaves.
  • Water: Mist the plant thoroughly 2-3 times a week, ensuring that excess water drains away. Alternatively, you can soak the plant in a bowl of water for 20-30 minutes once a week. Allow the plant to dry completely before returning it to its display location. This is important to prevent rot.
  • Air Circulation: Good air circulation is crucial for Tillandsias. Ensure that the plant is not placed in a stagnant or enclosed environment. A light breeze or a position near a fan can be beneficial.
  • Temperature: Maintain warm temperatures between 15-29°C (59-85°F) for optimal growth. Avoid exposing this tropical gem to cold draughts or frost.
  • Fertiliser: Use a diluted bromeliad or orchid fertiliser once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). This will help to encourage healthy growth and flowering.
  • Mounting: Tillandsia brachycaulos can be mounted on various surfaces, such as driftwood, cork bark, or even decorative rocks. Use fishing line, wire, or glue to securely attach the plant to its mount. Be sure to choose a mount that allows for good air circulation around the plant.

They are beautiful. A little bit heavier than I am use to, but not bad. Great buy.

Nice light large hoops
Bought as a replacement for a set of my favorite earrings. These are a close second. The clasp on one isn’t quite as tight as the other, but they stay on well

Style and fit
The pic makes them look oval, but they are actually round. That would be fine, but they are also a bit difficult to open and close.
