    Care Tips

    As a xeric Tillandsia, T. barrosoae requires bright light and adequate air circulation. Water by misting or brief soaking once or twice per week, ensuring the plant dries completely within a few hours to prevent rot. Avoid accumulation of water at the base of the rosette. This species tolerates the lower humidity levels characteristic of its native semi-arid habitat.
