Tillandsia Fuchsii – The Fine Whisper of the Air

Description:
Tillandsia fuchsii is a delicate and mesmerizing air plant admired for its fine, hair-like leaves that radiate outward like a soft silver-green sphere. Native to Mexico and Guatemala, it thrives in bright, airy spaces and adds a subtle touch of natural elegance wherever it’s placed. When in bloom, it produces a bright orange-red flower spike with violet blossoms, creating a striking contrast against its light, feathery form. Graceful and sculptural, Fuchsii is the embodiment of lightness and calm.

Key Features:

• Feathery Form: Thin, needle-like leaves create a soft spherical shape with gentle texture.

• Airy and Elegant: Brings a sense of light movement and natural simplicity to any display.

• Compact Size: Grows approximately 6–10 cm tall and 5–8 cm wide, making it perfect for glass domes, terrariums, or Evok’s Air Bonsai stands.

• Vivid Bloom: Produces a colorful red-to-orange bloom spike with violet flowers during flowering season.

• Low Maintenance: Requires no soil — absorbs nutrients and water directly from the air.

• Perfect for Display: Pairs beautifully with minimalist wood, brass, or hanging designs for artistic interiors.

Care Tips:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight or strong filtered indoor light.

• Water: Mist lightly 2–3 times per week, or soak in room-temperature water for 10–15 minutes weekly. Shake gently to remove excess moisture.

• Airflow: Keep in a well-ventilated area to maintain its shape and prevent water buildup at the base.

• Temperature: Ideal range is 15–30 °C; avoid frost and direct harsh sunlight.

Fun Fact:
Named after German botanist Leonhart Fuchs, Tillandsia fuchsii is often called the “mini fireworks” of the air plants — its fine, radiant leaves resembling gentle sparks of life and light.
