Tillandsia 'Bonjour'

A sophisticated hybrid combining the compact charm of T. ionantha with the bold presence of T. mitlaensis, 'Bonjour' offers the perfect blend of grace and durability. Tillandsia 'Bonjour' is a strong hybrid with thick, succulent leaves and straight lines. Great as a mounted plant at the top of a decorative item.

Parentage: Tillandsia ionantha × Tillandsia mitlaensis

Key features:

• Robust, succulent-like leaves
• Graceful, architectural form
• Silvery green coloration
• Emerging pink inflorescence
• Strong growing habit inherited from both parents

'Bonjour' demonstrates exceptional form—elegant, arching leaves radiate from a sturdy base in perfect symmetry. Each leaf exhibits a pleasing gradient from pale green to subtle silver, thanks to its protective layer of trichomes. A hint of pink at the center suggests an emerging bloom, adding a touch of romance to its otherwise architectural presence.

Collector's note: This hybrid represents thoughtful breeding, combining the best traits of its parents to create a plant that's both beautiful and resilient. Its thick leaves store water efficiently, making it more forgiving than many other airplants.

Care tips: Position in bright, indirect light. Water thoroughly twice weekly, allowing to dry completely between waterings. Higher humidity encourages optimal growth but isn't crucial due to its succulent nature.

Ideal for:

• Modern minimalist spaces
  
• Office environments
  
• Vertical garden designs
  
• Beginning collectors

Display recommendation: Mount 'Bonjour' vertically on a piece of light-colored wood or stone to highlight its striking form and perfect symmetry.

Add a touch of sophistication to your space with T. 'Bonjour'—where resilience meets refined beauty in one exceptional airplant.
