A cultivar of (albida x streptophylla) by Bill Timm. A good combination of parents with the plant most closely resembling the T. streptophylla parent with broad, channeled leaves heavily coated with silver trichomes. The leaves do not tend to curl as strongly as streptophylla but the base does form a bulbous shape. The plant forms an open rosette to about 12 inches or a little larger. The inflorescence is very tall with long, slender, pink branches held upright. The branching and coloration is a vestige of the streptophylla DNA but the slender nature is strictly from the albida parent.
This is a good quality, versatile formula for epiphytic plants. This fertilizer does not use urea as a nitrogen source, as it is not usable by epiphytic plants. Water soluble, it can be used in daily irrigation or applied at intervals. Will not burn foliage at recommended rates and does not stain foliage. This is the fertilizer we use here at Tropiflora for our bromeliads, orchids and all epiphytic plants.
Application Rates: Constant Feed: A rate of 50 to 150 ppm of nitrogen is recommended. For bi-weekly applications: Use at the rate of 1½ to 2 tsp per gallon of water. Monthly: 1 to 1½ to tbs/gal.
Decorative ceramic Autumn pumpkin planters, perfect for your favorite small tillandsia. This collection includes 4 pumpkins, one of each color as shown, for a set price of $24.99. Each planter measures 3" tall, includes a drain hole.
Somewhat squat plastic pots, three quarters as tall as wide, with drainage holes. This is the most common style of pot that we use here at Tropiflora and are pretty much the “industry standard” for most production of tropical plants and succulents.
We only stock in forest green. We do not carry other colors.
