Billbergia pallidiflora is an epiphytic plant reaching a height of 12 to 18 inches (30 to 45 cm) characterized by its cluster of upright rosettes. Each rosette sports a few stiff, green leaves adorned with broad gray-white horizontal banding and small, sharp teeth along the margins. Come spring, it exhibits conspicuous pale pink bracts and unique, pale green and violet flowers. The leaves' horizontal banding coupled with the distinct coloring of the bracts and flowers make it identifiable. This plant thrives in part sun to bright shade environments.
