Tillandsia Capitata ‘Peach’ is a spectacular air plant native to the tropical regions of Mexico, Cuba, Honduras, and the Dominican Republic. It stands out with thick, silver-green leaves that take on a warm, peach-pink coloration during flowering – a time when the plant becomes a distinctive visual accent in any natural or minimalist decor.
🌿 Botanical characteristics:
• Family: Bromeliaceae
• Growth type: epiphytic (does not need soil)
• Leaves: thick, curved, with a velvety texture, covered with fine hairs that absorb moisture from the air
• Color: silver-green, becoming intense pink during flowering
• Flowers: delicate, in warm shades from pink to lilac
• Size: approximately 10–15 cm
☀️ Growing conditions:
• Light: prefers intense but diffuse natural light; avoid direct exposure to midday sun.
• Watering: mist 2–3 times a week in summer and 1–2 times in winter; it can be occasionally submerged in clean water for 15–20 minutes, then left to dry completely.
• Temperature: ideal between 18–28 °C; avoid cold below 10 °C.
• Humidity: moderate (50–70%), with well-ventilated air to prevent mold.
💨 Care:
After watering, place the plant with the leaves facing down to allow water drainage. It can be fertilized monthly with a diluted fertilizer for bromeliads or orchids to maintain intense color and vigorous growth.
⚠️ Note:
Small imperfections on the leaves or marginal dryness may appear during transport or under temperature variation conditions – these are normal and do not affect the plant's viability. Flowers may be transient during the delivery period.
