Tillandsia bergeri

Tillandsia bergeri is a charming air plant known for its distinctive foliage and prolific pup production. Ideal for South African gardens and indoor spaces, this plant offers a unique and appealing addition. Endemic to Buenos Aires (Argentina).

Key Features:

• Compact Rosettes: Tillandsia bergeri features compact rosettes of stiff, green-grey leaves. The foliage forms a dense, attractive display that adds texture to any plant arrangement.
• Rapid Pup Production: Often referred to as the “mad pupper” due to its ability to produce pups rapidly year-round, making it a lively and continuously evolving plant.
• Minimal Flowering: This plant focuses its energy on producing pups rather than flowering, so blooms are infrequent.

Care Requirements:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Some direct sunlight can enhance the colour and texture of the foliage, but avoid intense, midday sun to prevent damage.
• Water: Requires misting or soaking in water once a week. Ensure the plant dries thoroughly after watering to prevent rot.
• Soil: Does not require soil; can be mounted on surfaces or placed in a display holder.
• Temperature: Best suited for temperatures between 15-25°C. Protect from frost and extreme cold.
• Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity. Regular misting or placement in a humid environment helps maintain its health.
