Tillandsia Ionantha Rubra: The Vibrant Air Plant (yes, you need to water it).
This stunning Tillandsia Ionantha Rubra air plant boasts a unique, fuzzy texture and vibrant red hues that intensify in bright light during its bloom cycle. It's a low-maintenance beauty, perfect for adding a touch of life to any space. Approx 2.5”
Care Instructions:
Watering:
Misting: Mist your Tillandsia Ionantha Rubra thoroughly twice a week with water (do not use reverse osmosis or softened).
Soaking: Fully submerge the plant in water for 30-60 minutes twice a month. After soaking, shake off excess water and set upside down to dry completely (within 3-4 hours).
Indoor Light: Thrives in bright, direct sunlight. Indoors, position them in your sunniest window for optimal growth and vibrant color.
Temperature: Thrives in warm temperatures between 50-90°F (10-32°C).
Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity.
Fertilizing: While optional, fertilizing can promote growth and blooms. There are many air plant fertilizers available, but we highly recommend Tilly Boost, a specifically formulated product that can be found on our website here
Blooming and Pups:
Tillandsia Ionantha Rubra is a monocarpic bloomer, meaning it blooms once in its lifetime. After blooming, the mother plant will begin producing "pups" – small, new Tillandsia Ionantha plants that grow from the base. You can choose to leave the pups attached to the mother plant for a fuller look, or carefully separate them once they reach a mature size to start new Tillandsia Ionantha Rubra colonies.
Additional Notes:
Tillandsia Ionantha Rubra is an air plant, meaning it doesn't require soil. That’s why they grow so well in our signature sun catchers.
Avoid using tap water with high chlorine content, as it can damage the plant, unless you let it sit out for two or more hours before using to let the chlorine evaporate.
When blooming, don't get the flowers wet while watering.
This easy-care air plant will bring a touch of the tropics to your home with its vibrant color and unique form. Order your Tillandsia Ionantha Rubra today!
