    About aurea

    Tillandsia aurea is an epiphytic bromeliad in the family Bromeliaceae, native to Ecuador and Peru. It is a medium-sized xeric species with narrow, recurved leaves densely covered in trichomes, giving the foliage a silvery-gray appearance. The leaves form a spreading rosette. The specific epithet 'aurea' derives from the Latin for 'golden,' referring to the yellow flower color.

    Care Tips

    Tillandsia aurea requires strong, bright light and adequate air circulation. Water by misting 1–2 times per week during the growing season and reduce frequency during winter. Allow the plant to dry fully within a few hours after watering to prevent rot at the rosette base. Mounting on cork bark or driftwood promotes air flow around the roots.
