Tillandsia xerographica 'Rubra'

The Crimson Queen

4 inches

A rare and coveted form of the legendary Queen of Air Plants, kissed with deep rose and burgundy hues that intensify with bright light. Wide, sculptural leaves arch and curl dramatically, each one blushed with crimson undertones that bleed through silvery-green like watercolor on aged parchment.

This is not just a plant—it's a living jewel. A botanical throne piece that commands its space with regal presence and otherworldly beauty. The red-enhanced form is exceptionally rare, making each specimen a collector's treasure and an instant focal point in any collection.

As it matures, the ruby tones deepen and spread, creating an ever-evolving display of color that shifts with the seasons and light. Patient, dramatic, utterly magnificent.

CARE: Bright indirect light with some direct sun to enhance coloring • Mist 2-3x weekly or indulge in a monthly soak • Always dry upside down to prevent crown rot • The more light, the more intense the crimson blush
