DESCRIPTION: Brachycaulos can be found naturally in various parts of central America at elevations of 600 - 1,200 meters. Brachycaulos can handle both high and low light levels, but will grow faster and have a deeper red bloom when given higher amounts of bright, filtered light.
Brachycaulos is a well known air plant for its deep green coloration and interesting growing patterns. This is a plant that prefers bright, indirect light and frequent waterings. You will notice that when your Brachycaulos comes into bloom, it will turn a shade of red (pictured) then return to green after its blooming cycle.
