The Tillandsia Argentea originally grows in dry areas in Mexico, Guatemala, Cuba and Jamaica. This Air Plant grows as a single, as well as in clusters of multiples of the same species and has very thin silver(ish)-leaves. The Tillandsia Argentea barely has roots and mostly grows on rocks and trees. The leaves of this air plant grow in a loose way and the spike of the plant grows purple flowers from the centre.

The Tillandsia Argentea is very easy to care for and to use in bouquets, arrangements and other decorational purposes for example. This air plant likes an airy and a bright/light environment the most. Besides that, it likes to be sprayed once or twice a week (depending on the humidity), preferably with our Air plants care spray.

Tillandsia argentea Cuba is a jewel of a species and very rare.  It is from Cuba and as you can see from the photo, it has a red flower which is what separates it from the forms of T. fuchsii that are native to Mexico and Central America. The forms of T. fuchsii have grape violet flowers.  In addition, the leaves of T. argentea are stiffer.  Too bad it's so rare in cultivation, it's a wonderful plant.
