T. Brachycaulos X T. Streptophylla

Eric Knobloch

This venerable hybrid lives best in cool spots with frequent mist. We prefer not to soak ours, instead ensuring that its leaves are kept lightly moist. We are careful not to dry this plant out, as it can have a hard time recovering from a dry spell.

Tillandsia Streptophylla

Shirley Temple

Stretophylla is a favorite among airplant enthusiast as it grows hearty, thick leaves that curl inward. As this airplant matures, you'll enjoy its wide shape, it grows into a structure that can support itself on a flat surface, such as a bed-side table or mantle.
