Every Plant Tells a Story
Nature does not create perfection, it creates character. We celebrate these natural details, because they make every plant beautifully one of a kind.
Tillandsia funckiana 'Red Upright' is a stunning Venezuelan air plant with twisting stems and needle-like foliage that bursts into brilliant scarlet-red flowers each November.
Originally sourced from Bruce Dunstan, this fast-growing beauty forms elegant hanging clusters and thrives when mounted upside down to curl naturally toward light. This variety loves frequent watering and good air circulation.
Water every 2–3 days in warm spots, or weekly in cooler, humid spaces. Mist or dunk for 10–20 minutes, then shake dry completely, air plants hate sitting water.
Position in bright, indirect light: east or west-facing windows indoors work perfectly, or dappled outdoor shade. In frost-prone areas, keep undercover or bring inside during winter. Quick to establish and rewarding to grow, this is an air plant for those ready to give it a little extra attention.
