Discover Tillandsia aeranthos, a captivating species that brings a touch of South American canopies to your home.

Origin: Native to southern Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Argentina
Distinctive traits: Bright green, spiky rosette with striking blue-purple flowers

 Size Inches
Small 1"-2"
Medium 2"-3"
Large 3"-4"

 

Key features:

  • Vivid coloration: Bright lime-green foliage that stands out in any display
  • Compact form: Tightly arranged leaves forming an attractive, spiky rosette
  • Stunning blooms: Produces eye-catching blue-purple flowers with contrasting red bracts
  • Adaptable nature: Thrives in a variety of environments, from near sea level to higher altitudes
  • Natural clustering: Often found growing in small groups, perfect for creating airplant colonies

Appearance: T. aeranthos forms a symmetrical rosette of stiff, outward-pointing leaves. The foliage exhibits a vibrant lime-green color, creating a striking visual impact. When in bloom, it produces a compact inflorescence featuring vivid blue-purple flowers emerging from red bracts, offering a beautiful contrast to the green foliage.

Collector's Note: While similar in appearance to T. bergeri, T. aeranthos is distinguished by its unique flowering characteristics. In its natural habitat, it shows a preference for mature tipa trees (Tipuana tipu), often forming small clusters of plants—a trait that can be replicated in cultivation for stunning displays.

Care tip: Provide bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant green color. Water 2-3 times a week by misting thoroughly or soaking for 20-30 minutes, ensuring the plant dries completely within 4 hours. Good air circulation is essential to mimic its natural epiphytic growing conditions.

Ideal for:

  • Collectors seeking to recreate South American airplant habitats
  • Those who appreciate plants with bold, structural forms
  • Enthusiasts looking to create clustered Tillandsia displays
  • Designers wanting to add pops of bright green to their plant arrangements

Display recommendation: The spiky form of T. aeranthos makes it perfect for standalone displays or as part of grouped arrangements. Consider mounting several specimens on a piece of driftwood or cork bark to recreate its natural clustering habit. Its bright green color also makes it an excellent contrast piece when paired with silver-leaved Tillandsia species.

Bring a piece of South American canopies into your space with Tillandsia aeranthos. Experience the joy of nurturing this adaptable and visually striking species, and anticipate the breathtaking display when its blue-purple blooms emerge, adding a splash of exotic color to your airplant collection.

2 complaints, otherwise great
This is a mostly great product. I only have 2 complaints - it’s really difficult to wash out, and the price. In my experience shampoo alone will not wash it out at all. Two-in-one products don't work. I have to use: 1. a shampoo 2. a conditioner 3. a shampoo again 4. More conditioner It does a really great job compared to other clays. I have short somewhat thin hair and it provides volume. It gives me the hold. I need all day. It smells great and it’s easy to work with. I wish it was cheaper. I feel like I’m paying extra for a cool looking tin. All that being said, I will be repeat customer

Just Okay...
This is an okay product. It works well for the first hour or two but then makes my hair very greasy - it feels like I haven't washed it in weeks. It's fairly sticky, which is great, but again it only lasts 2-3 hours for me before making my hair greasy. It smells great - I'll give them that. I'm glad it works for others but it's just not right for me.

Clay-Like Texture, All-Day Control
When my go-to pomade was discontinued, I had to start the search all over again. After seeing several ads for Highland Glacial Hair Clay Pomade on social media, I decided to give it a try and ordered a tin. Right out of the can, you can tell this product is different. It’s very thick—almost like actual clay. At first, I wasn’t sure how it would work with my shorter hair. Pro tip: lightly wet your hands before working it in. Once you add a little moisture and warm it up between your fingers, it spreads much more easily and evenly. Applying it to damp hair makes styling smooth and straightforward. When first applied, the hold feels strong and structured. As the day goes on, it relaxes slightly but still keeps your hair in place without looking stiff or overly styled. I appreciate that it maintains shape while allowing a more natural finish as the hours pass. It is more expensive than some other options out there, but in my opinion, the performance justifies the price. For reference, my hair is short—slightly longer than a typical military regulation cut—so this review reflects how it performs on shorter styles. Overall, I’m happy with the switch and would recommend Highland Glacial Hair Clay Pomade to anyone looking for a strong, workable hold with a natural feel.

Good Stuff!
Can’t say enough good things about Highland’s Glacial Clay Pomade! Don’t let your initial reaction to its appearance fool you. This stuff is great! In the tin, it’s fairly thick, but I put less than a dime size amount on my fingertips, place it in my palm, and then rub my palms together and it quickly turns into a very delicate gel that I work into my hair. Unlike other products that leave your hair crispy or with a sheen, this dries invisibly and allows you to continue to adjust and manage your hair throughout the day without looking like you have anything in at all. It’s so easy to use and keeps my hair looking great all day. Smells great too! I feel good knowing that I’m putting something on my body that’s 100% natural even down to the aluminum tin, which is fully recyclable. I’ve been using this along with Highland’s shampoo “The Wash“ for a few months now and I swear my hair has never been softer. I’m a big fan of this company and their products!

It's a good pomade
This clay pomade is easiest to work with when the temperature is around 74F and higher. If the room temperature is around 66F, it takes longer to soften. I have thick, straight hair that sticks out if you cut it wrong. This pomade handles it pretty well. Once it's worked in, it holds the styling together. This stuff does not flatten the hair like regular pomade. Instead, it adds "body" or volume to your hair. There is no gloss. It settles in with no shine in your hair. And like most pomades, this Highland stuff also does a good job moistening dry hands. Another thing about this pomade is that it's hard to wash out, so if you keep it there, you can towel off and style your hair back in place without adding more fresh pomade. With delivery via Prime, it took 7 days, which isn't very prime. I could go to the drugstore and grab another brand of clay pomade in less than a day. This stuff is pricey, which I cannot figure out why. All-natural ingredients means they don't need to formulate compounds to make pomade, so it should cost less, but it's not. While it's a good product, I can't always afford the high price.
