T. ionantha Guatemala (Large) andreana each blade ending in veryThe Tillandsia ionantha guatemala has tapered leaves of a lettuce green color that are also slightly thick and rounded. These numerous leaves are upright and very close to one another, only slightly separating from each other at the ends. But, once its inflorescence starts to grow up and out of the plants center, its leaves start to gradually spread out to make space, and the leaves that were once a light green color, fade into a fiery red color.
