Tillandsia capitata Rubra (formerly sold as Eric Knobloch Red Form)

Origins: Manmade hybrid Bloom: Short, simple red inflorescence that produces purple flowers.  The upper foliage remains red year round  Ideal for: Indoors/Outdoors Light: Strong indirect and/or filtered light, some direct light okay Water: Spray or dunk twice a week, allow to dry within 6-8 hours.  Soak monthly to rehydrate up to 4 hours as necessary   This plant is something of a mystery; I have seen it sold under three different names.  You may also find it as Eric Knobloch red form and Love Knot, but the grower that I bought them from sells them as capitata Rubra.  Whatever it truly is, it's a gorgeous plant that holds its color year round and has a nice, compact shape.
