Colorful & Hardy Bright Pink Pendant Flowering Bilbergia - $165 (San Fernando Valley / Simi Valley)
QR Code Link to This Post
* Large specimen (potted). It's about 50" wide (spread) by 20"-30" tall. It has grown since taking this measurement. Height measurement does not include the height of the pot. The plant is in a hanging basket/pot. I need the pot, but will gently take it out of the pot and place it in a box for you. I am offering it for $155 (plants of this size and quantity are over $200 ). I documented over the 2018 Summer season alone, it produced over 15 blooms. In 2019, it produced 25! In 2020, it had close to 30! In late March 2021, there were a dozen blooms at once! At the end of 2021, it totaled 35 flowers. In June 2022 it had 15 flowers hanging on display at one time.
In Dec. 2022, it showcased two long blooms (yes, even in Winter).
In early September 2023, it showed off 9 flowers.
Total for 2023 was over 40.
In 2024, 33+ times so far.
2025, over 35 times (lost count)!
It's a beauty!!
Each year, more and more pink blooms will unfold and be on display! I see pink blossoms starting to develop.
The attached photo is an example of the plant you will receive. It is presently mounted in a tree, in a hanging basket, and looks nearly identical to the one by the pool (that one sold a few years ago, it was a tad smaller, only 40" wide).
Billbergia are primarily epiphytic species. They grow comfortably attached to trees, shrubs, rocks or driftwood. While Billbergia grow naturally attached to a substrate, they will also grow terrestrially (potted in containers with soil). They are tolerant of a neglectful owner who forgets to water. Drought tolerant!
