used to be called Tillandsia kurt-horstii
The batch in our catalog, imported from California in 2001. Plants have flowered in our cool shadehouse as well as the growing-on house.
Said to come from Grao Mogol in Brazil, that's all we know about its habitat. Some people have reported difficulty getting it to flower. We grow it in the heated growing-on house, about one meter from the roof, where it flowers each year.
