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 turquinensis
335
A unique species from Cuba where it lives on exposed limestone cliffs near Santiago de Cuba at about 1,000 feet of altitude. Related to capitata, it forms a somewhat bulbous base with stiff, glabrous leaves in a flaring, upright rosette with the leaves recurving sharply in a coil when grown bright or hard. The color varies with light and stage of growth but is green with a slight gray bloom when young and becomes yellowish with maturity, blushing pink in strong light.
At anthesis the inflorescence produces long scape bracts of yellow, ending in pink. The branches are mostly green and the tubular flowers purple-blue. Easy to grow mounted but slow growing and very cold tender.








Tillandsia usneoides
337
Tillandsia usneoides This is the famed ‘Spanish Moss’ of the romantic south. Gracing stately trees from Virginia to Argentina, its is a ubiquitous presence in much of the southern U.S. and especially here in Florida.
The form we sell is our native form, long silvery strands, fluffy and fresh, with fragrant green flowers when it blooms. We grow some in greenhouses, but much of our stock is harvested in the many trees right on Tropiflora property. We clean it of twigs and leaves and only rarely treat it with insecticides for shipment, by request.
Forget about the red bug stories you may have heard about ‘Spanish Moss’, it’s a myth. Great for that special tropical look in your trees, for use with reptiles, as decorative mulch on indoor plants and more. Keep in a breezy, partially shaded place for best results and water well once a week. Feed occasionally if kept indoors.
Note that the photo below is a clump just over 3 feet long and is about a pound (actually just under).
*PLEASE NOTE - We are no longer allowed to ship this item to Japan




I bought both the greenhouse grown and the harvested from trees bunch. The greenhouse form was beautiful, soft and almost 3' long. The harvested bundle was huge. I Love it so much. 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 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!
