Description Image Info Sustainability

Tillandsia 'Mizuki' is a decorative hybrid, presumably descended from Tillandsia ionantha or related species.
The name "Mizuki" is of Japanese origin and means "beautiful moon" or "water tree" – a fitting reference to the graceful appearance and delicate coloring of this plant. It is excellent for airy arrangements and modern Tillandsia displays.

Characteristics:

This hybrid forms a compact rosette with softly shimmering, silvery-green leaves, which change to intense shades of pink to red during flowering. Delicate violet tubular flowers emerge from the center, creating a strong color contrast. Due to its compact size, it is well-suited for smaller containers, glass globes, or as part of air plant collages.

Care Instructions:

Light: Very bright, preferably sunny – direct sunlight enhances coloration.
Water: Spray thoroughly 2–3 times a week or briefly submerge, then allow to dry well.
Humidity: Medium to high (from 50%), good air circulation is important.
Fertilizer: In spring and summer, 1–2 times a month with our special Tillandsia or orchid fertilizer in diluted form.
Temperature: 16–28 °C, can also tolerate cooler phases for a short time (down to about 5 °C without frost).

Note: Tillandsia 'Mizuki' is an easy-care beauty that is particularly suitable for decorative presentation. Its vibrant coloration during flowering makes it a highlight in any collection.

Our greenhouses are equipped with modern energy screens and double glazing to efficiently save on heating costs. Additionally, we collect rainwater over the entire roof area of 9,000 square meters and use only this water to irrigate all our crops. We collect the rainwater in underground tanks with a total volume of 600,000 liters.

Since 2007, we have been heating our entire operation with a fully automated 850 kW wood chip heating system and a 100,000-liter buffer storage tank. Environmentally friendly and CO2-neutral. Only to support during very cold winter days and nights is a conventional oil heating system available.

Since 2014, the heating has been supported by a solar thermal system with an annual yield of about 20 megawatt-hours.

In 2020, we installed a photovoltaic system with 30 kW peak and have been producing more green electricity per year than our entire operation requires.

Since 2021, we use exclusively pots for our self-produced plants that are not only 100% recyclable but are also entirely made from recycled pots. To this end, we collect all used pots that arise in our operation and have them picked up in big bags by our pot supplier Göttinger. There, the pots are cleaned and processed in a water-free recycling facility into new pots that come back to us.
