Tillandsia stricta Hugo

Regular price $4.00 $3.00 Sale

Origins: This specific unregistered cultivar came from Tillandsia International

Bloom: One fluffy pink bract that produces purple tri-petaled flowers.  Much larger than most stricta blooms and much more pale pink in the bract

Light: Strong indirect and/or filtered light

Water: Spray or dunk twice a week, ideally allowing the plant to dry same day.  Additionally, soak up to 4 hours as needed, look for leaves rolling inward forming tubes as a sign of underhydration

 

This is a larger form of stricta with thicker, wider leaves than standard stricta.  Grows very bushy and has one of the larger floral bracts of any stricta variety.  I don't typically love stricta, but this is one varietal I am quite fond of.
