Named after Nicolas Funck, a 19th-century Belgian botanical explorer, this remarkable epiphyte and saxicole thrives at elevations of 600-1,750 meters in Venezuela.

Key Features:

  • Caulescent growth with filiform-attenuate leaves resembling pine needles
  • Striking scarlet coloration when grown in bright light
  • Large, bright scarlet flowers with exserted stigma and stamens
  • Prolific production of apical and adventitious offsets

Tillandsia funckiana is a captivating species that stands out with its unique appearance. This caulescent Tillandsia forms tufts of thin, needle-like leaves that grow along a stem, resembling a bunch of little pine needles. The filiform-attenuate leaves are typically 3-5 cm long and 1-2 mm wide, covered with appressed-cinereous scales that give the plant a silvery appearance.

One of the most striking features of T. funckiana is its ability to take on a vibrant scarlet hue when grown in bright light, adding a fiery dimension to its already impressive form. The plant typically reaches 7-8 cm in length when mature, creating a compact yet eye-catching display.

When in bloom, T. funckiana puts on a spectacular show. The flower is relatively large for the plant's size and displays a bright scarlet color that is rare in the Tillandsia genus. Both the stigma and stamens are exserted, adding to the flower's dramatic appearance. This showy inflorescence, combined with the plant's compact size, makes it a standout in any collection.

Collector's Note: This species is known for its prolific production of offsets, both apical and adventitious along the stem. This characteristic allows it to form impressive clumps over time, some of which have been known to thrive for decades under proper care.

Care Tips: Provide an airy, bright location. While it's a tough species that can do well in most environments suitable for Tillandsias, it prefers more frequent watering and good air movement. Its thin leaf blades indicate a preference for higher humidity and air circulation.

Ideal for:

  • Collectors seeking a compact, visually striking Tillandsia
  • Enthusiasts interested in species with vibrant flowering displays
  • Those who can provide bright light and good air circulation
  • Growers looking to create impressive clumps over time

Display Recommendation: Mount on bark or suspend from wire to allow its stem-like growth to cascade. Its tendency to form clumps makes it an excellent choice for creating living sculptures or airplant "trees."

Add this Venezuelan gem to your collection and witness the fiery transformation of its needle-like leaves as it thrives in bright light, culminating in a spectacular scarlet bloom.

returned- for now
Style: Updated Formula
I was using the lotion version of this for about a year, then went to the balm for more hydration. However, it seems to be breaking me out. I think because it's spring, im not needing as much occlusion as i did during winter. I'm gonna go back to the lotion formula, then pick this up again next winter. It is a little hard to spread, but I spray the avene mineral water on, let it dry slightly, and press the balm into my skin when its still wet. That helps thin the balm just enough to rub in. Otherwise, it can actually feel kind of rough!

Impressive
Style: Updated Formula
Nice thick cream! I even saw results (skin improvement) within days. I like this way better than their Cicalfate+, as it’s easier to rub in, less greasy, and doesn’t have the water vs cream separation issue. I’m not a huge fan of the pump top for this one, but at least it’s a tube instead of a solid canister (where you can’t see how much is left or get to the last bit).
