    Care Tips

    As a xeric species, Tillandsia aequatorialis requires bright light and good air circulation. Water by misting or brief soaking 1–2 times per week, ensuring the plant dries completely within a few hours. Avoid prolonged moisture retention around the base or leaf axils. Provide cooler temperatures at night to reflect its highland origin.
