Regular price $12.00 Sale

Origins: Nidus is a natural hybrid, there are a ton of clones and varieties out there that are probably manmade so the name is ranging

Bloom: Upper foliage turns red and a short, compound, red inflorescence produces purple tubular flowers

Light: Strong indirect, partial direct, and/or filtered light

Water: Spray or dunk twice a week, allow to dry within 6-8 hours.  Soak monthly to rehydrate up to 4 hours as necessary

 

This is just an awesome hybrid, the growth habit is so neat.  Oversized ionantha hybrids might be my favorite tillandsias! Beautiful, thick leaved plant with slightly caulescent growth habit.  Blushes beautifully during bloom, and can blush a little throughout the year with strong light
