Tillandsia Flexuosa “Suriname”

Tillandsia flexuosa (flex-oo-OH-sa) is a thick, stiff-leaved species that means it has good succulent capacity (the leaves can store quite a bit of water for drought periods). It has a huge natural range, thriving from Florida in the U.S., through the Caribbean, Mexico and Central America, and into northern South America. Because it has such a large range, it is one of the easier tillandsias to grow. The inflorescence is very tall and colorful with magenta flowers. The leaves of Tillandsia flexousa can twist, hence the name. Also this species is viviparous which means it can produce new offsets from the inflorescence!

Tillandsia Flexuosa “Suriname” has darker leaves compared to Flexuosa “Vivipara”
