Billbergia nutans "Queen's Tears" is an epyphytic bromeliad - a plant that prefers to live on tree trunks and extract the nutrients that they need from the air around them.

If you break it down: epi = upon and phyte = plant.

The Bromeliad part refers to a giant, very diverse family (that includes the pineapple) that are more or less succulent or have other adaptations to resist drought

Though the flowering season is brief (3-4 weeks), the experience is so unique that it is well worth the wait every year.

Originally from South America, they enjoy warm weather so make sure to bring her inside when it gets chilly outside!

Gardening Tips
The Botany

The Bromeliad family is thought to have originated on the tepuis (table top mountains) of Central America - these structures are completely isolated from the ground forest, making them ecological islands, allowing for completely unique species to evolve there without any interaction with the rest of the world. Could this be part of the reason that Billbergia nutans is so striking? Maybe...

Absolument magnifique et Katya a été très facile à travailler avec. Tout le processus s'est déroulé de manière très fluide et lorsque j'ai eu des questions après l'achat — concernant l'entretien — elle a été très heureuse de m'aider. Je recommande à 10/10. :)
