Tillandsia Dura is an exotic plant native to Brazil that is noted for its hardiness and unique appearance.
Its narrow, pointed leaves form a dense, deep green rosette, which can turn pink or purple in brighter light.
This aerial plant does not require substrate, as it absorbs nutrients and moisture directly from the air through its trichomes, small structures that cover its leaves.
