Tillandsia pohliana is a species in the genus Tillandsia. This species is native to Bolivia, Peru, Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil.
Tillandsia pohliana shows strong resistance to disease and is generally not prone to illnesses. Still, it can develop rot if it lacks adequate ventilation. Its care is rated as medium — it needs frequent misting to raise humidity and a small quantity of fertilizer added to the water. This species is best for growers with some experience, since prolonged incorrect care can be lethal to the plant even when problems are not immediately noticeable.
How to keep Tillandsia Pohliana.
Light
Tillandsia pohliana is native to habitats like forest understories that provide natural shade. It prefers partial sunlight but can endure full sun when needed.
Temperature
Tillandsia pohliana prefers warm conditions. If the temperature falls too low, the plant may stop growing or suffer frost damage. It tolerates high heat and humidity well and needs a steady level of moisture in its surroundings. However, extremely high temperatures and humidity can raise the risk of fungal infections. In dry environments, frequent watering and misting are needed to keep the air humidity adequate. The plant is sensitive to abrupt temperature changes, so maintaining a relatively stable temperature is important.
