Tillandsia 'Victoria' — a stunning hybrid air plant that combines the best traits of two beloved species: Tillandsia ionantha and Tillandsia brachycaulos. It was originally made in the 1960s, making it one of the original Tillandsia hyrbids. A small to medium plant averages 3"-4" at maturity. Known for its vibrant blush tones and graceful rosette shape, this easy-care beauty is perfect for both air plant beginners and seasoned collectors.
****PLEASE NOTE: Purchased plants ARE NOT CURRENTLY IN BLOOM ("flowering") and are approximately 2" wide and GREEN. YOU WILL NEED TO WAIT FOR THIS PLANT TO BLOOM BEFORE IT TURNS RED IN COLOR. Upon receipt your plant will be green, not red in color (both red & green are shown in the listing photos). When in bloom, ‘Victoria’ develops a light red blush across its leaves and produces delicate purple flowers from its central bloom spike — a striking display of color in any plant collection!
