Tillandsia albida
€15.95
Dutch Tax included
Description
Tillandsia albida stands out as a plant because of its rather large decorative silver-white leaf rosettes hence the species albida = white. These rosettes are formed by many 10-20 cm long silvery-white leaves that are covered by almost invisible small scales that greatly reduce evaporation. This certainly benefits this species as it grows in sun-drenched dry places on cacti and rock faces in Mexico. The flesh-coloured flowers on 20 cm long stems contrast nicely with the silvery-white leaves. Culture matches that of T. incarnata. Once received, the plant still needs to be tied to a piece of branch.
