The Tillandsia ionantha fuego is a such a colorful and fun little air plant. This type of ionantha is native to Mexico and areas of Central America. It is a very low maintenance plant, making it perfect for “green thumb” challenged individuals. This variety is known for being a quick grower, and as it matures will create many “pups” which will eventually clump into a ball like formation. This air plant variety prefers very bright indirect sunlight.
This plant holds high red blush year round when exposed to bright light. This is a smaller form of ionantha. As the smaller plants mature they develop thicker leaves and look more like the larger plants shown. As the sizes go from large to specimen sometimes the height of the plant won’t be reflected as much as the thickness or girth of the plant.
Height – 1-3 Inches
Light – High
Care –
Upon receiving your air plants, soak in water for 20 – 30 minutes. Then shake off excess water and dry upside down until completely dry. Water plants once or twice a week with misting between as needed. Never leave air plants sit in water for more than an hour – they will rot!
Air plants require bright, indirect light which can be sunlight or consistent indoor lighting.
Good air circulation is important for your air plants! Do not place your air plants in soil.
