Tillandsia winkleri

Origins: Brazil Bloom: Short, simple inflorescence with a bright pink bract and purple tri petal flowers Light: Strong indirect or filtered light, some direct light okay Water: Spray or dunk twice a week, allow to dry prior to next watering. Soak monthly to rehydrate up to 4 hours as necessary This plant is likely related to something in the aeranthos complex or a hybrid of it. Grows caulescently with an open, semi upright rosette and a purple hue. Nice for a splash of color and seems to produce offsets throughout its life cycle, not just during bloom. Originally though to be a form of aeranthos but achieved speciation in 2000
