Tillandsia flabellata x Tillandsia caput medusae ‘Robust’

Origins: Created by Pam Koide at Bird Rock Tropicals Bloom: Intermediate compound inflorescence with several elongated red bracts and purple tubular flowers Light: Strong indirect or filtered light, some direct light okay Water: Spray or dunk twice a week, allow to dry before next watering. Soak monthly to rehydrate up to 4 hours as necessary. Be sure to dry the center of the plant completely if you fully submerge it in water to avoid rotting I personally like this cross a little better than its reverse cross. This one is less leafy but the leaves are thicker and more succulent, leaning towards the caput influence. Produces a beautiful but subtle red blush in strong light, and the inflorescence is very showy
