Tillandsia fasciculata, commonly known as the giant airplant, giant wild pine, or cardinal airplant, is a species of bromeliad native to Central America.
The plant is commonly found in large trees and can form extensive colonies. It is known for its red floral bracts, which give it a distinct appearance. Tillandsia fasciculata is also affected by the Mexican bromeliad weevil, which is currently a threat to Florida’s Tillandsia species.
Tillandsia fasciculata, commonly known as the giant airplant, giant wild pine, or cardinal airplant, is a species of bromeliad native to Central America, Mexico, the West Indies, and the southern United States. Some key features of Tillandsia fasciculata include:
– **Habitat**: It can be found in hammocks, cypress swamps, and pinelands.
– **Description**: The plant is an epiphyte, often growing in clusters. It has 20-50 long, stiff, and leathery leaves (grayish-green, scaly, brownish at base), with the plant reaching 30-70 cm (1228 in.) in height. The inflorescence is 30-60 cm (12-24 in.) long.
– **Leaves**: Tillandsia fasciculata has narrower and more erect leaves compared to Tillandsia utriculata, which has more arching leaves that are wider at the base.
– **Tank Form**: The tank form of Tillandsia fasciculata appears more constricted, whereas T. utriculata is more wide open, like a mixing bowl.
– **Inflorescence**: Tillandsia fasciculata produces a simple to branched spike of red, yellow, or orange flowers.
Tillandsia fasciculata is under attack from a foreign pest, the Mexican bromeliad weevil, which also affects Tillandsia utriculata.
