Tillandsia intermedia PERU Stiff leaves form a flaringA bizarre Tillandsia from Mexico, certainly the most unusual of the proliferating Tillandsias. The plants are long and thin, with stiff gray leaves ending in a tight curl. It is in nearly a constant state of bloom, producing an offset from the tip of the spike and additional ones from the base of the mother plant. Eventually, will form huge clusters of intertwined plants that hang down in a cascade. A true oddity and easy to grow.
