Native to Ecuador and Peru, the Tillandsia latifolia is a large growing caulescent air plant (a plant that grows along on a stem) It hails from semi-arid and arid habitats. This xeric plant can be found growing abundantly on sand dunes, plains, in coastal deserts, and amongst rocks. The T. latifolia has thick light green leaves that are covered in trichomes. They like bright filtered light and can change color to a more of a golden yellow tint in bright sunlight. These plants though slow growing, can grow to be over 4-6 feet long. The T. latifolia emits a long inflorescence when in bloom with red/yellow bracts and produces hot pink flowers. Since these plants live in drier regions in the wild, they can withstand more sunlight and less water than most air plants.They like a moderate watering.
