Tillandsia bergeri
Tillandsia bergeri is a very popular Air plant an easy to grow species
Tillandsia bergeri is a very adaptable air plant variety, easy to care for and tolerant of a wide variation in lighting and moisture levels
It is endemic to Buenos Aires in Argentina where it grows saxicolously (on rocks).
The flower spike on this species is 3 to 5 inches long straw coloured and produces lovely blue to violet flowers with a white centre.
This is one of the hardiest and easiest of all Tillandsia species, it has proven hardy over many years outside in mild coastal gardens in Cornwall and also in Central London. It is easy to mount or just hang from wire, and grows in full sun or dappled shade, with regular wetting and drying.
This is a division of our mother plant, so the flowers will match the photo.
Tillandsia are members of the bromeliad family and are found growing as epiphytes all over South America. They thrive in humid environments like terrariums but equally can be grown in the home in humid areas like kitchens or bathrooms. If growing in the home they can be misted or soaked a couple of times a week. Once sprayed or soaked, shake off excess water to prevent rotting. Ideally, rain water is best for this.
