Funckiana is an attractive airplant variety that will gradually form a fantastic clump. It's a caulescent air plant species meaning that its leaves grow upwards along its stem instead of branching out. These Tillandsia are found growing on cliffs in the Andes and Venezuela. The funckiana resembles a pine branch and produces a red flower. Hung upside down it twists and bends back on itself heading towards the light, by regularly moving its position it can form some interesting shapes. 
It takes moisture and nutrients from the air so needs a humid environment to thrive, so a bright bathroom or steamy kitchen would be ideal.
Display the plant near a window and to water it my preference is to submerge it in a bowl of water for 20-30 minutes. In winter about every 2 weeks. Spring/summer-weekly. Rainwater is best at room temperature or pond water. You could use bottled spring water. Avoid distilled or filtered water. Then give it a gentle shake to remove any excess as they dislike overwatering and hang up to dry. Alternatively you could spray the air plant thoroughly until water drips from the leaves.
