Tillandsia Schiedeana is an elegant air plant, native to the warm regions of Central America, valued for its compact shape and the silvery shades of its fine leaves. The “clumps” variant represents a naturally formed bush of several mature plants joined at the base – a detail that gives it a rich and spectacular appearance, perfect for hanging decorations, wooden supports, shells, or wall arrangements.
🌿 Botanical characteristics:
• Family: Bromeliaceae
• Growth type: epiphytic, without soil – absorbs water and nutrients through the leaves
• Shape: dense bush, with several united rosettes, which can multiply over time
• Leaves: thin, gray-green, arranged in a spiral and slightly curved
• Flowers: small, golden-yellow, often appearing in the warm season
• Size: approximately 10–15 cm diameter, depending on each clump
☀️ Growing conditions:
• Light: prefers bright natural light, but filtered; also tolerates partial shade.
• Watering: mist 2–3 times a week in summer and 1–2 times in winter; you can occasionally soak the plant in clean water for 15–20 minutes, then let it dry completely.
• Temperature: ideal between 18–28 °C; avoid cold below 10 °C.
• Humidity: moderate to high (50–70%), with good ventilation.
💨 Care:
After watering, place the plant with the leaves facing down to avoid water accumulation at the base. Monthly fertilization is recommended - you can purchase it here.
⚠️ Note:
Each clump is unique – it may vary slightly in shape and size. The leaves may show small dry spots or imperfections caused by transport, without affecting the plant's viability.
