Tillandsia tenuifolia v. tenuifolia (White Flowers)
4696








Tillandsia toropiensis
7310
A handsome, slender growing, clump forming species from Rio Grande do Sul state in southern Brazil. Described by Prof. Dr. Werner Rauh in 1984. A lithophyte, growing with several species of cacti, orchids and other bromeliad species. The foliage is silvery-lepidote, slender, in a loose upright rosette with an inflorescence about a long as the leaves, un-branched, with light red bracts and open white flowers.
Individual plants reach about 8 inches tall.




Tillandsia trelawniensis
7088
A rare, smaller relative of Tillandsia fasciculata from Jamaica, although our specimen sourced from the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens (SEL 1986-0480) came from the Dominican Republic via Luis Ariza-Julia. It is unknown where he got the plant. Very narrow, silvery-gray leaves in an upright rosette to about 7 to 8 inches with a multi-branched inflorescence of bright red with light blue flowers. A very attractive, rare, small species.
Budded as of 05/05/2025










Tillandsia winkleri
2898
A robust plant similar to T. aeranthos, but with wider, stiffer, reddish leaves in a more open rosette shape. The scape is nodding, slightly longer than the foliage with white-tipped rose-red bracts and open cerulean blue flowers. Native to the area of the Riozinho region of Rio Grande do Sul state of Brazil. Very attractive, clump forming, somewhat cold hardy and easy to grow.








The plant looked great and has done well since. Shipping and packaging was quick and excellent, thank you!
Tillandsia x guelzii
4946
A beautiful, silvery plant in a leafy 10 inch rosette with a handsome, silver-dusted pink-orange inflorescence and white flowers. Resembles didisticha a little and is sometimes confused with pucaraensis. Our plants came originally from the collection of Dr. Werner Rauh years ago.




Tillandsia x may-patii
6418
A naturally occurring hybrid of brachycaulos x dasyliriifolia from Mexico, described by Ramirez & Carnivali. In our experience it is not a large plant, but rather upright growing to about 12 to 18 inches with fairly broad silvery-green leaves. The inflorescence is cylindrical to occasionally branched, with pinkish bracts and white flowers.
(SEL2000-0185)






Tillandsia x smalliana 'Giant Form'
2711
A larger growing form of this natural hybrid from Florida. A primary hybrid that can be between any of the millions of Tillandsia fasciculata v. densispica x balbisiana in the Everglades and as luck would have it, this one is just an extra-large growing form. About 25% larger than other clones we grow, reaching 30 to 36 inches tall or more, consistently. The inflorescence is correspondingly larger too.
As with the typical form the plants have bronzy foliage which forms a bulbous base with long, tapering leaves in a rosette with an upright vase shape. The inflorescence is very tall with a red scape, long, recurving bracts and a cluster of upright, long, bright red branches. Colorful and easy to grow.








Tillandsia x wilinskii
6295
A natural hybrid of (flexuosa x funckiana) that we collected in Venezuela in the late 1990’s. This plant is from a completely different area than the one described by Gouda in 2002, but it likely would be considered the same taxa. Our plant is from the state of Carabobo on the old road from Valencia to Puerto Cabello, a long distance from the Merida locality of the other. We found ours growing on a rock, in light forest in partial shade. The Tillandsia flexuosa and funckiana in this area are quite different looking than the ones near Merida which is much higher in altitude and much drier.
An interesting plant with long, stiff leaves along a caulescent stem, silvery green in color, clump forming. The inflorescence is a thin scape no higher than the foliage, with large flowers of deep rose red that are tubular with flaring petals that recurve at the tips. A very interesting plant that leaves no doubt about its hybrid origins.










Tillandsia xerographica
350
THIS PLANT IS ON C.I.T.E.S. AND CANNOT BE EXPORTED
A beautiful and collectible Tillandsia from Guatemala which forms a large open rosette with wide recurving silver leaves and a handsome yellow inflorescence. Grown mounted or in a basket, the leaves will hang in long curls. Native to seasonally dry forests where they receive abundant sun and good air circulation, in cultivation does well in a hanging basket or a string ‘cradle’, just suspended in a bright, airy place.
A magnificent species now listed as endangered by C.I.T.E.S.










This is a spectacular specimen in perfect condition! I love it and would love to get more in the future.
If you’re in Sarasota, check out the display of these plants being installed at Selby Gardens as part of the upcoming Kasuma exhibit (see photo), then go to Tropiflora to buy your own!
I have purchased plants from Tropiflora both in person and by mail . I recently received a Xerographica which arrived promptly and in great shape. Indeed, all of my purchases have been great and timely.
Excellent service, professional handling and shipping. Amazing, healthy beautiful. Thank You.
I was so excited about the way it was mounted. All I had to do was just go home and hang it up sometime the hardest part is trying to decide how to display them. This was quick easy and I enjoy looking at it every day. Hands down, you have the best selection, healthiest plants, and great prices.
You always feel like family when you shop at tropiflora
Tillandsia xerographica x brachycaulos
9049
THIS PLANT IS ON C.I.T.E.S. AND CANNOT BE EXPORTED
This cross of xerographica x brachycaulos has been made before and at least one clone is registered as “Betty.” This plant, however, is not the same, though of course, you’d expect similarities. Our clone most closely resembles the xerographica parent in the foliage, with broad, channeled, fairly stiff, curling, silvery leaves. The inflorescence is tall with many upright greenish branches and long scape bracts that blush slightly red at anthesis. A nice large showy plant!

Another wonderful surprise of exceptional treasures!! I'm lovin' lettin' y'all do the choosing....the growers know and see things we can't!! The incredible pricing and exceptional quality means I can offer my customers some specimens they won't see around here! I make individual holders for Tilly's and y'all's plants make my creations look SO good!! A couple of selections are begging for a different holder than I normally craft, and in order to honour them, I'm going to have to colour outside my box!! Get's me excited to be pushed into new directions for my designs!
I am totally thrilled with my plants. I have had a time going through them because to my thrilling discovery many are multiples of 3 or more which allows me to price them higher! All 6 varieties that I purchased are healthy and beyond expectation. Totally a great decision to purchase!!!

Tropiflora Bromeliad Mix
TBM
This is a commercial mix that we at Tropiflora have custom made 50 yards at a time. We use this formula because #1 it works for us and #2 it is economical.
Anyone can mix their own potting media and we encourage you to do so in order to best suit your needs. However, if you wish to use our proven mix, we are more than happy to oblige!
Here is the formulation:
- 30% Canadian Peat
- 30% Green Bark
- 30% Hardwood Chips
- 10% Perlite (though this can vary with availability of materials).
It also includes 3 pounds of minor elements per yard and has a pH level of 6.0 to 6.5. This mix allows good air access to the root zone, good moisture retention without getting soggy, long pot life, and good substance for holding plants upright.
Note: A one quarter cubic foot bag of soil should fill about half a dozen 6 inch Azalea Pots.




Super quick draining mix that holds humidity well while maintaining root ventilation. Reccomend for any bromeliad growers.
I'm very new to bromeliads, and just re-potted a few I purchased at Tropiflora. They all seem very happy in their new digs.
