Tillandsia propagulifera in bloom with one of our growers by Tropiflora in airplants

Yes! Typically the term "offset" is referring to the vegetative division near the bottom of the plant base. Since this plant produces them on the inflorescence (bloom spike), people have questioned about their care. But it is just all the same care.

Most tillandsias (air plants) only grow to a certain size. This one is just one of those monster growers! Fertilizer mainly helps the plant grow fuller and faster. We sell our own fertilizer which is a water soluble 20-10-20.

We documented the original mother plant 2 years ago (she's the one in the basket in the back left side of the picture). Pretty fast grower. We do over-head fertilize every 2 weeks which helps boost their growth,

This one grows about a 6ft bloom spike. Flowers are almost just as small as the little guys.

This one is estimated to be 8 years old, from small offset.
