HYBRID Tillandsia Airplants

Hybrid Tillandsia are created by the cross pollination of two different air plants. The aim of successful tillandsia hybridisation is to combine the desired characteristics of two parent plants into a new plant. Airplant hybridisation is a slow process as no two seedlings will be identical and the chances of achieving the desired cross is slim. As well as selected ‘man-made’ hybrid airplants, we also grow a selection of natural hybrids (plants that have cross pollinated in habitat resulting in new plants that have later been given their own names.
