Does Anyone Know Tillandsia flexuosa 'Viviparous Form'
This was previously called T. flexuosa var vivipara. It originates in Venezuela growing down to almost sea level.
Does anyone have experience growing this tilly in the sub tropics?
This form throws a long inflorescence bearing red flowers, after flowering pups form along the peduncle (Flower Stem) similar to Keikis on orchids.
As this plant is from very low altitudes, it is perfectly suited to the tropics. In sub-tropical areas it must be grown in a protected area, + if in colder areas, provide heat over winter
