All Tillandsia funckiana are native to Venezuela and found growing 1200 - 1300 meters.
The Tillandsia Funckiana is a wild and winding air plant. The needle-like leaves that wind up and down this plant resemble that of a pine tree, yet is very soft to the touch. Resembling that of an evergreen or a caterpillar, they also have a lovely muted light green coloring and a strong, woody base and stretch towards their light source. The lovely light coloring is the perfect accent to any setting or color scheme. It will eventually develop lovely light blush pink tips as well.
When in bloom, it will spike and flower, and will produce a beautiful and vibrant orange-red coloring. Which is a rarer color for air plants.
This variety likes to be misted 1-3 times a week,. Once a week in the winter time, and more often and frequently in the summer months.
The Funckiana air plant enjoys very bright morning light, late afternoon sun, as well as indirect sunlight and plenty of air circulation.
