Tillandsia ‘Curly Slim’ on Wooden Plaque (Tillandsia intermedia x streptophylla hybrid)

This large Tillandsia ‘Curly Slim’ has thick, curly leaves and an upright growth habit. It is secured on a rough-cut board creating a distinctive display. In summer, a long inflorescence showcases pinkish-purple flowers, and offsets are produced on the spike as well as at the base of the plant. Spray with water once or twice a week but don’t overdo it since less water promotes curlier leaves. Tillandsia ‘Curly Slim’ is a new hybrid from Dr. Mark Dimmitt that’s a must-have for tillandsia collectors. The board dimensions range in size from 6 X 8” to 7 X 10” and includes a hanging wire.
