Tillandsia ionantha Monstrose

Regular price $75.00 Sale

Origins: Crested cultivar of ionantha originally released by Rainforest Flora

Bloom: Crested tillandsias typically do not produce a bloom.  If a crested ionantha reverts and starts producing normal pups, it will bloom like a typical ionantha

Light: Strong indirect 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 needed.  Crested plants have tight leaf margins that can trap water so proper drying is necessary to avoid rot

 

This is a highly sought after mutant! Cresting is a naturally occurring mutation in which a plant starts growing along the meristem.  This produces a unique shape that takes on the appearance of a piece of coral.  This mutation is a rarity and this particular cultivar is very rare.  They are very difficult to separate so they are not often available, get it while you can!
