Tillandsia tenuifolia (Blue flowers)

A fine leaved form of Tillandsia tenuifolia from Brazil. This form produces blue flowers. Owing to its much finer leaves, this form required a more diligent approach to watering to avoid drying out and prefers a more shaded position. Of all the forms of tenuifolia that we grow, this one is perhaps the most deserving of its name: derived from the latin ‘tenuis‘ and ‘folius‘ literally slender leaved.
