Spotlight on Tillandsia albertiana
General information on Tillandsia albertiana
Tillandsia albertiana, an easy-to-grow Tillandsia native to Argentina (Salta), is characterised above all by its magnificent flowers. The red colour of its flowers, which last for up to two weeks, is mesmerising and ethereal, and well worth the effort. Indeed, this Tillandsia will only flower if you give it the right care!
As a little botanical aside, this Tillandsia is named in honour of an Argentine botanist, Alberto Castellanos, who made a significant contribution to Argentine botany in the 20th century.
Growing and caring for Tillandsia albertiana
Whilst taking the plant outdoors during the summer will do it a world of good, Tillandsia albertiana can tolerate dry conditions, particularly when kept indoors.
It prefers to be hung rather than placed on a surface, although this is not a decisive factor in its successful cultivation.
