Tillandsia Silver Kop 20 cm
Tillandsia 'Silver Kop' – a silver beauty
Tillandsia 'Silver Kop' is a striking Tillandsia with a neat rosette of slender, silvery leaves. The leaves are covered with fine trichomes, giving the plant its beautiful metallic-silver appearance while also helping it absorb moisture.
Like other Tillandsias, it does not need soil, which makes it perfect for creative displays. It looks particularly beautiful in glass decorations, mounted on pieces of wood, in decorative holders or as a focal point in a miniature garden. Its compact size also makes it ideal for smaller spaces.
'Silver Kop' is a great choice for anyone looking for an unusual yet relatively easy-care plant. It thrives in a bright position with good air circulation.
Care
Light: Place it in a bright spot with indirect or filtered light. Avoid prolonged exposure to strong direct midday sun.
Water: Mist thoroughly once or twice a week, or soak the plant in room-temperature water for about 20–30 minutes once a week. After watering, allow it to dry completely before placing it back on display.
Important: Good air circulation is essential. The plant should not remain wet for long periods, especially around the base of the leaves.
Soil: No soil or regular growing substrate is required.
Fertiliser: During spring and summer, you can feed it approximately once a month with a diluted Tillandsia or bromeliad fertiliser.
Size: approximately 20 cm.
