{"product_id":"tillandsia-gardneri","title":"Tillandsia gardneri","description":"\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe Tillandsia gardneri is native to Trinidad, Tobago, Colombia, Brazil, and Venezuela where it grows as an epiphyte in trees in dry tropical environments. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe T. gardneri is a soft species with almost feather-like leaves. Its leaves are a silvery sage color and they grow in an almost fountain type shape.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eThese plants bloom a soft inflorescence from their middle and bloom a pink bloom similar to that of the T. houston.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe T. gardneri can grow quite symmetrically if displayed properly. It does prefer cooler humid temperatures and bright light. It can withstand more light and less water due to its fuzzy to the touch, coat of trichomes. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis is one of the rarer varieties to find as it has a high ornamental value, yet slow growth, which led to illegal over-collection of plants from the wild. While currently not on the list of endangered Tillandsias, we must be careful to ensure that these plants are being grown sustainably and not harvested illegally.
