DESCRIPTION: Tillandsia Velutina have a velvety feel because of the trichomes on their leaves. This plant has a great olive green coloration and blushes a deep red when in bloom. Velutina are one of the easier Tillandsia to take care of and are a great addition to any air plant collection. This species was described by Renate Ehlers in 1994. Velutina is native to Chiapas and Guatemala. 

When in bloom, velutina turn a beautiful red color. This air plant blooms from the inflorescence that composed of several short ears each bearing 1 or 2 flowers only. As a result, the inflorescence, emerging little from the plant, has a globose appearance. The bracts of the flowering stem resemble leaves, are scaly and of a beautiful bright red color. 

NOTE: The brown coloration at the bottom of this plant is normal for the species. It is not an indicator of rot. This is a soft leaved species. If there is rot, it will be brown from the central area of the top of the plant where the new growth comes out.  

SIZE: Small: 2" / Medium: 3"-4" / Large: 5"+

(SIZES ARE APPROXIMATE)

All orders include a free, beautiful air plant care card. Giving an air plant with one of these cards makes a great gift.

We received one that was spread out/open and the other was a bit more closed. Both are healthy and look beautiful. We are excited to watch them turn red when the time comes!

Don't get me wrong it is a very nice air plant but despite the adequate sunlight from a southwesterly window I am still waiting for it to turn red.

Arrived with a slight dusting of color already that perfectly matches a little vase we have. Everything was packed with care and LABELED, which is something other sites don't do. Excited to watch this plant grow!

I accidentally attached the wrong photo. This is my thriving large velutina. BTW all of the plants arrive with labels which helps so much. Thanks!

Customer photo review of Velutina  (Currently Green)

It was really droopy when it arrived. Being new to tillandsias, I freaked! It was late when I got it so I sprayed its leaves then gave it a good soaking the next morning. It perked right up and has continued to look so much better that I wondered which one it is in my most recent order. It is much larger than I thought it would be! Lesson learned: they've been in a box for 5-7 days, in the dark. I'd be droopy too!! Just give them a chance to recover. I will only purchase tillandsias from Air Plant Hub. Thanks

This is a gorgeous tillandsia, and even though I thought the large would be bigger (mine is same as medium pictured) I have to say that the plant is very healthy and eye catching. Thank you APH!

Superior quality plants I will definitely make another purchase. The plant I ordered in bloom look as good as the picture. I bought them 2 months ago and they still look absolutely amazing Thank you from Fort Collins 😁

I made a mistake using ‘Shopify’ to login and didn’t get the optional discounts. No fault of Air Plant Hub. APH did give me a refund after I informed them of the error. Concerning the Air Plants. They are so beautiful. All arrived in great shape. I especially enjoyed the shells for mounting.

These are great plants will buy from again. Came quickly. Repeat customer.

Fast shipping and plants in good shape. The red coloring added to one of the plants was a bit heavy-handed but otherwise ok.

Velutina (Currently Green)

Much smaller than expected based upon other reviews and photos, but a lovely little plant that came with a nice dusting of red color already. Everything was labeled and packed with care.
