Tillandsia - chartacea

Tillandsia chartacea (char-TAH-say-a) is a long, caulescent growing species that is normally hung upside down.  The growing tip then gradually turns around and grows upright, toward the light. This species produces somewhat stoloniferous (growing on a stem) offsets that continue growing along the length of the plant which can cause a generational T. chartacea to reach a length of 3 meters (10') or more!

Each living plant is unique and may vary slightly in size, colour or shape depending on the season. Flowering plants are sent when available.
