Tillandsia barthlottii (gray form)

Regular price $20.00 $10.00 Sale

Origins: Ecuador, Peru

Bloom: Long, pendulate, compound yellow inflorescence with yellow flowers

Light: Strong indirect and/or filtered light

Ideal for: Outdoors

Water: Spray leaves twice a week, allow to dry within 6-8 hours.  As it is best potted, increasing the number of times you water is better than removing from soil to soak if you feel it's drying out

 

This is a species with a remarkable bloom that grows best terrestrially.  Can get quite large over time and likes strong filtered or indirect light with good air flow.  Definitely a collector's item and a species that doesn't come available often

 

This is the gray form, which generally has thicker, shorter leaves than the green form.  Bloom is nearly identical

 

I currently have them potted, but these will ship bare root
