    About andreettae

    Tillandsia andreettae is a small epiphytic bromeliad in the family Bromeliaceae, native to the Andes of Ecuador. It forms a rosette of narrow, silvery leaves densely covered with trichomes, a morphology typical of xeric Tillandsia species adapted to periodic drought. The inflorescence is short, bearing pink to red bracts from which tubular violet to purple flowers emerge.

    Care Tips

    Requires bright light with good air circulation. Water by misting or brief submersion 1–2 times per week, allowing the plant to dry completely within a few hours after watering to prevent rot at the base. Avoid stagnant water accumulating in the leaf axils. Apply a diluted bromeliad fertilizer at one-quarter strength once a month during the active growing period.
