Tillandsia
geminiflora
is similar to Tillandsia gardneri but the soft leaves are bright
green instead of fuzzy white. The inflorescence is more of a salmon
color and it is large relative to the plant. I have seen these two species
growing side by side in Brazil. Like Tillandsia gardneri, Tillandsia
geminiflora prefers bright light but cooler, more humid temperatures
than many of the others. Still, both are hardy species and easy to grow.
