Tillandsia John's Clone (Tillandsia ionantha x Tillandsia seleriana)

Regular price $65.00 $35.00 Sale

Origins: John Arden hybrid, formerly known as Tillandsia Lido

Bloom: Short, compound inflorescence with several stout red bracts that barely escape the center leaves, produces purple flowers.  Upper foliage blushes red during bloom

Light: Strong indirect or filtered light

Water: Spray or dunk twice a week, allow to dry within 6-8 hours.  Soak monthly to rehydrate up to 4 hours as necessary.  Be sure to dry the center of the plant completely if you fully submerge it in water to avoid rotting

 

This clone of ionantha x seleriana is more than twice the size of most other grexes of this cross.  This indicates seleriana had a stronger influence, especially because John used a form of seleriana from Mexico that grows large.  A really cool, dense, bulbous plant
