The Ionantha subgenus of Tillandsia is endemic to Mexico, Costa Rica, and certain areas of South America. It likes warmer, humid conditions but will do just fine in a dryer environment with regular misting. There have been a large amount of Ionantha clones, hybrids, and cultivars created all with their own unique characteristics.
Common Ionantha varieties include:
Ionantha Ionantha, Ionantha Guatemala, Ionantha Mexican, Ionantha Rubra, Ionantha Fuego, Ionantha Peanut, Ionantha Victoriana, Ionantha Rosita, and more by the day as these popular plant is hybridised by delighted growers.
Soaking the plant once or twice a week depending on the environment is a common and successful method of hydrating, and regular misting as needed. And don't forget, always water your air plants in the morning and make sure to shake off any excess water before setting them out to dry!
