Tillandsia fasciculata 'Magnificent' vipp 4-30 Zimbabwe and MozambiqueA very select clone of this handsome species, originally from Panama. This plant takes on a deep red leaf color in bright light and may be grown in full sun. The inflorescence is a massive set of thickly inflated, deep red branches. We collected the original plants many years ago in Northern Panama as offsets from plants growing in trees in open pasture land. From a hot, humid area, subject to seasonal drought. In other words; easy to grow.
