My Tillandsia Capitata Red. At least, that’s what I think it is. Planta doesn’t know. Does anyone have any insights? Thanks ahead of time! 🙏

That’s very interesting! I’ve had this one for a few months and originally thought it was spray painted, but I think it’s grown two new leaves since then that have red coloring. But I honestly can’t say those leaves weren’t already there—just smaller. I’m going to keep an eye on her and see what happens. Thanks so much! 🙏

I’ve been told the same thing about the painting of plants. I hope yours is legit. It really striking.

I have a feeling the paint they use on airplants is safe and allows for photosynthesis, unlike the straight up wall paint they slap on succulent’s at home depot. Mine have grown a lot of new green leaves and have no problems even though i’ve had to accept the color is not real.  
From what i understand, a pink flush is only color thats real, and i have some that do this right before they push out blooms (kinda like a woman’s moon lol), and its only temporary. Sure is pretty when it happens!  
Heres my painted beauty (had it about a year):

This is beautiful! I have a blue one that I’m pretty sure is painted, but I have this other one that has pushed out a faintly pink leaf. I think she’s a tillandsia harrisii pink blush.

Oh this blush one might be a real blush! If the pink comes and goes you will know its real. If it stays indefinitely its paint.

Did you buy it big? How do you get them to grow?

#### Penny L님이 2023-08-06에 답변했습니다.

She was big when she arrived. With my other air plants, I give them plenty of light and mist them twice a day when the humidity level is below 40%. Between 40% and 60%, I give them a light misting once a day, and above 60% I mist them twice a week. Hope this helps!
