DESCRIPTION: Tricolor are found naturally in Central America and Mexico. They are known for their beautiful red/green color when in bloom. This is a "spiky" plant that has firm leaves. As you can see in the pictures, these plants eventually produce stoloniferous offsets that can end up growing into very large clumps, some producing over a dozen plants in one clump. Tillandsia Tricolor prefer bright light and thrive in more humid conditions. These plants are good endurance plants and can withstand a variety of conditions.
