One study found 175,000 bromeliads per hectare (2.5 acres) in one forest; that many bromeliads can sequester 50,000 liters (more than 13,000 gallons) of water. [31] The aquatic habitat created as a result is host to a diverse array of invertebrates , especially aquatic insect larvae, [ 32 ] [ 33 ] including those of mosquitos. [ 34 ]

In its natural habitat, the plant, like other bromeliads, is most often pollinated by hummingbirds. However, it can also be pollinated by bees , bats , and other pollinators. [ 4 ] similar to how other bromeliads reproduce, this plant typically makes pups , although it can also breed in a normal way by making seeds .
Green-leaved species of Tillandsia generally live in cool-to-humid climates, in areas of terrestrial shade or the lower levels of a forest. [13] In contrast, almost all gray-leaved species live in precipitation-poor areas with high humidity. They prefer the full sun and can therefore be found in the upper floors of the woods, on rocks or ...
