Tillandsia Brachycaulos, also known as the short-stemmed air plant, turns red before flowering mainly due to the accumulation of anthocyanins and photosynthesis under ample light conditions, which leads to a change in leaf color. This color change is not only a physiological response but also an ecological adaptation strategy to attract pollinators such as insects, helping the plant overcome the disadvantage of small flowers being less likely to be pollinated. Additionally, the leaf color of Brachycaulos changes with temperature variations, turning fully red in low temperatures and green in high temperatures, demonstrating the plant’s adaptability to environmental temperature changes. Therefore, this reddening phenomenon is a comprehensive reflection of Tillandsia Brachycaulos’ physiological functions, ecological interactions, and environmental adaptability.
