A very attractive Colombian species with a showy spike of inflated branches of bright orange-red, that persists for some months. Growing to about 10in with dark green foliage in an upright rosette. Easy to grow, thriving potted in an orchid-type mix or mounted.
Tillandsia balbisiana The Florida form of this wide ranging species that occurs from Florida, the Caribbean down through Mexico and Central America and Northern South America. The Florida form tends to grow in open woods and cypress swamps from twigs in the full sun to shaded hammocks. An elongated bulbous base formed by the leaves that constrict before flaring out to an open but few leaved rosette. The inflorescence is tall, branched and lacquer red. An easy and rewarding species to grow.
A silvery caulescent lithophyte from Brazil with long, densely leafed stems that form large pending clusters on the granite rocks. Lightly fragrant purple flowers.
An all-time favorite from Brazil is about 6 inches across in a leafy rosette with stiff gray-green leaves. It produces a stunning blue-flowered, plume-shaped pink inflorescence in the summer. In nature this plant can be found growing on the restinga sands of beach dunes and in trees in the foothills of the Atlantic Range in Brazil.
Large clumps will form in just a few seasons, that can be hung from wires and will form perfectly symmetrical balls of many plants. One of the easiest and most prolific of Tillandsias to cultivate.
We acquired this plant from a private collector in 2019. A very nice hybrid of T. rothii x brachycaulos, this plant has characteristics of both parents. The size and shape of T. rothii with wide lime-green recurving leaves forming an open rosette; the inflorescence grows tall with purple flowers at the tip. When in bloom the top leaves flush the vivid cherry-red of the T. brachycaulos parent.
Tillandsia 'Marvelous Masterpiece' is a beautifully shaped healthy plant. Even though the shipping box had been partially smashed, the plants inside were well packaged and undamaged. Thank you, Tropiflora!

A short caulescent plant forming a dense rosette with 3-4 inch leaves. Produces a long thin vibrantly colored inflorescence. Native to Cuba and Jamaica, this is the real thing!
A cliff-dwelling species from central Mexico; San Luis Potosi, Queretaro, and Hidalgo. Possibly because of its pupping habit, unlike typical monocarpic utriculata, it is popular with hobbyists and easy to grow. A decorative species, with many leaves in an upright rosette, grayish silver and rather thin. The inflorescence is branched and red to orange or pink, with green and pale green, whitish flowers. Many offsets proliferate at the base of this subspecies and form a dense cluster in time. These little pups can be removed to start new plants at a very small size. Grows best mounted in bright light.
per usual for the company...the order I placed arrived in pristine condition as if it had been shipped form across the street...great sized starter plants and varied prices...loving my growing collection..
