Tillandsia concolor
A Mexican air plant that forms a stiff green rosette, found on trees in the warm, seasonally dry forests of Veracruz, Oaxaca and Chiapas. It handles bright light, heat and a long dry season well. Give it strong light, excellent airflow, and a wet-summer, drier-winter watering rhythm.
Where it grows wild
Epiphyte on the trunks and branches of trees in lowland to foothill tropical dry and semi-deciduous forest. Many of its hosts drop their leaves in the dry season, so it is exposed to strong light.
No elevations are given in the records found. The observation localities (central Veracruz coastal plain, the Isthmus and central valleys of Oaxaca, the Soconusco coast of Chiapas) run from near sea level to roughly 1,500 m.
