Named after Nicolas Funck, a 19th-century Belgian botanical explorer, this remarkable epiphyte and saxicole thrives at elevations of 600-1,750 meters in Venezuela.

Key Features:

  • Caulescent growth with filiform-attenuate leaves resembling pine needles
  • Striking scarlet coloration when grown in bright light
  • Large, bright scarlet flowers with exserted stigma and stamens
  • Prolific production of apical and adventitious offsets

Tillandsia funckiana is a captivating species that stands out with its unique appearance. This caulescent Tillandsia forms tufts of thin, needle-like leaves that grow along a stem, resembling a bunch of little pine needles. The filiform-attenuate leaves are typically 3-5 cm long and 1-2 mm wide, covered with appressed-cinereous scales that give the plant a silvery appearance.

One of the most striking features of T. funckiana is its ability to take on a vibrant scarlet hue when grown in bright light, adding a fiery dimension to its already impressive form. The plant typically reaches 7-8 cm in length when mature, creating a compact yet eye-catching display.

When in bloom, T. funckiana puts on a spectacular show. The flower is relatively large for the plant's size and displays a bright scarlet color that is rare in the Tillandsia genus. Both the stigma and stamens are exserted, adding to the flower's dramatic appearance. This showy inflorescence, combined with the plant's compact size, makes it a standout in any collection.

Collector's Note: This species is known for its prolific production of offsets, both apical and adventitious along the stem. This characteristic allows it to form impressive clumps over time, some of which have been known to thrive for decades under proper care.

Care Tips: Provide an airy, bright location. While it's a tough species that can do well in most environments suitable for Tillandsias, it prefers more frequent watering and good air movement. Its thin leaf blades indicate a preference for higher humidity and air circulation.

Ideal for:

  • Collectors seeking a compact, visually striking Tillandsia
  • Enthusiasts interested in species with vibrant flowering displays
  • Those who can provide bright light and good air circulation
  • Growers looking to create impressive clumps over time

Display Recommendation: Mount on bark or suspend from wire to allow its stem-like growth to cascade. Its tendency to form clumps makes it an excellent choice for creating living sculptures or airplant "trees."

Add this Venezuelan gem to your collection and witness the fiery transformation of its needle-like leaves as it thrives in bright light, culminating in a spectacular scarlet bloom.

but takes quiet a good amount of cotton balls
Size: 6.8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
It removes makeup alright, but takes quiet a good amount of cotton balls. Haven't try it on waterproof makeup yet, but it does make make skin feels clean and isn't harsh. Edit: Tried it for a couple of days, and here's the verdict: It can remove makeup, but you'll need a good amount of it on a cotton pad, and likely you'll use more than one. It feels nice while it is on the face, though it clean best with light makeup, and it takes me a couple of cotton balls to clean eyeliner and mascara. I needed to use moisturizer after it, because it make my skin feels dry. It doesn't take long, and definitely save more time than washing with soap and water, but it's a little bit of a hassle, too. Oh well, at least it's very convenient.

THE Best facial toner period!!!
Size: 6.8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This review is for the 200ml bottle I am one of those few but very fortunate people that isn't allergic to anything, or sensitive to most soaps, cleansers and toners. Unfortunately now that I'm in my fifties my face isn't as fuss free as it once was and soaps and cleansers that were once okay, are now either too harsh for my skin or dry it out. Worse than that are those products that irritate my eyes, especially if they're meant to be used around that area. What gives with these manufacturers whose products are supposed to cleanse your face, but irritate your eyes? Of course sooner or later you're going to get some in your eyes regardless of how careful you are. Which brings me to this amazingly excellent cleanser. A more accurate description of this cleanser would a "cleansing toner" as it's not really a face wash i.e. it doesn't soap or foam up like other facial cleansers. As I'm a guy and don't wear any make up I can't vouch for its efficacy in that department. But I can vouch most enthusiastically for its ability to strip your face clean of excess oil and grime picked up during the day without leaving your face feeling dry or tight. I do use it around both my upper and lower eyelids with zero eye irritation at all. It leaves my face feeling clean and refreshed with only the slightest hint of a clean refreshing smell, so it won't interfere with your perfume or cologne. I use it twice a day as an in between facial cleanser/refresher to eliminate that grimy oily look between my daily showers. Highly recommended for doing an excellent job without irritating or drying out my skin. Try it out yourself as this could be the only skin toner that you'll ever need, and it's reasonably priced too. :)

Holy grail for type 1 rosacea
Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1), Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This has saved my face. I have type 1 rosacea and my skin has been pissed off for the last eight months straight. I have tried everything including compounded prescription creams that only made my face flare worse. I deal with a lot of flushing and burning that can be triggered by the slightest bit in temperature rise or just seemingly at random, especially at night. Since using this product my skin has calmed down drastically. It's only been a couple days, but so far I'm thinking this is a holy grail product for me. I also purchased the Glenser because the oil cleanser that I was using had fragrance and alcohol, which can be extremely irritating for rosacea. Since switching to Prequel I can honestly say my skin is so much happier and less reactive. Worth a shot if your a rosy girl like me.

A perfect edition to my Rosacea skincare routine
Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Unfortunately, this doesn't fully get rid of the optical redness from my Rosacea, probably only about 30-40%. However, after using it consistently,(I'm now on my 2nd bottle, using at least twice a day), I have noticed that my skin is softer, less textured and definitely less red overall. My face gets super red especially towards the evening, but waking up in the morning I have noticed less and less redness. It kinda tingle/burns on my most sensitive areas where there's obvious inflammation, but the sensation fades as it totally absorbs into my skin. I wear it as a 2nd layer to my routine, and it wears well under makeup, just remember to moisturize after applying it, and before adding any makeup. It does also tend to pill up if you accidentally touch/rub on your face, so just be mindful of that. I am very satisfied with this serum and even gifted a bottle to my Mom. As a Rosacea Girly, I love this product and have permanently added it to my skincare routine.
