Tillandsia flexuosa seeds grow into an epiphytic atmospheric air plant native to the wet tropical biome from Florida (USA) and the Caribbean south through Central America to tropical South America. The epithet flexuosa means ‘flexuous’ or ‘bent in alternating directions’, referring to the sinuous, zigzag arrangement of the twisted, spiralling grey leaves. Described by Swartz. One of the more dramatic-looking atmospheric Tillandsia, with long, spiralling, strongly channelled and grey-scaled leaves twisting outward from a narrow, bulbous base. Produces vivid red-pink bracts with white or pale flowers. Subfamily Tillandsioideae. Family Bromeliaceae.
Bright light to full sun; no soil mount on cork/wood or hang freely; excellent ventilation; warm tropical to subtropical conditions. Mist frequently.
Tillandsia flexuosa is the sinuous air plant with its dramatically spiralling, twisting grey leaves and vivid bract display, one of the most visually striking atmospheric Tillandsia, ranging from Florida to tropical South America and a perennial favourite among air plant collectors.
