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.

real good
Format: Kindle
This was a solid read for the ABO universe. The characters are great. The smut scenes were well written. And the town is so cute I want to go there. It didn’t have much character development it just felt like I was getting to the characters as they were getting to know each other.

So sweet
Format: Kindle
It’s so unexpectedly sweet that it sneaks up on you. Each character is so unique and charming. I love the openness and honesty among their pack. It really blows me away how wonderful this omegaverse trope plays out. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Needs editing
Format: Kindle
Cute storyline and promising characters, but the lack of editing is painful to read. I would love to read an edited version.

Good start to a series
Format: Kindle
I delayed reading the series for reasons I don’t remember. But my TBR list is huge so I thought I’d take a shot of this and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t think the blurb about it was anything special. But it was a very good book. It took some interesting twists and turns. I am so glad the second book is already out. Because I would not have waited patiently. Very slow burn but good storyline. 🔥🔥/5

A good read
Format: Kindle
Multiple points of view. 3 Alpha men and an Omega male. She is a Beta in training for a new program placing betas in Alpha/Omega packs. Mila is only doing the program for the money to take care of her dad. She wasn't expecting to fall for a pack but when she sees this packs Omega she is done for. There is just something about him. His Alphas are good looking as well. Too bad she is hiding a secret and their government is acting shady. I liked it and can't wait to see where their story goes.
