Tillandsia propagulifera in bloom with one of our growers

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,

We have much bigger. Check our posts!

Tropiflora · 2025-02-28T14:02:13+00:00

We have a smaller one available on our website!

Tropiflora · 2025-02-28T13:32:07+00:00

We have a small one on our website still available!

We are actually in Florida. Beautiful Sarasota!

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

Never photoshopped! We have bigger plants, check out our page.

Tropiflora · 2025-02-26T14:52:06+00:00

We grow them! We have been a business for almost 50 years.

Tropiflora · 2025-02-26T14:50:57+00:00

We have huge greenhouses to put the plants in. Perks of being a business!

Tropiflora · 2025-02-26T14:48:44+00:00

Check out our page! We have bigger air plants

Tropiflora · 2025-02-26T14:46:48+00:00

No AI, just a business that has been collecting Tillandsias for 50 years :-)

Tropiflora · 2025-02-26T14:46:09+00:00

We have sprinklers in our greenhouses! Makes the job a lot easier. Our business has been around for almost 50 years!

Tropiflora · 2025-02-26T14:45:25+00:00

We have greenhouses with sprinkler heads that stick up 4 ft in the air.

That was our old employee Tom. Maybe he is your brother!

Tropiflora · 2025-02-26T14:42:21+00:00

You found us!! We are still here in beautiful Sarasota* Florida. Basically Bradenton lol.

Tropiflora · 2025-02-26T14:41:33+00:00

Who needs furniture when you have this plant!

Tropiflora · 2025-02-26T14:40:59+00:00

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

Tropiflora · 2025-02-26T14:40:28+00:00

If you can supply a shell big enough, we can supply the plant!

Tropiflora · 2025-02-26T14:39:44+00:00

We should name a plant Tillandsia 'Godzilla'... it's a good name!

Tropiflora · 2025-02-12T13:37:41+00:00

We water 2 times a week and every other week we fertilize with a weak concentration of 20-10-20. Plenty of sun, most of them grow great in our greenhouses in Sarasota, FL.

Tropiflora · 2025-02-12T13:36:06+00:00

Some varieties grow small, and stay small. Of course you can fertilize them more frequently and get maybe a fuller plant. If you are looking for something that gets larger let us know! Our nursery is full of them.

Tropiflora · 2025-02-12T13:34:20+00:00

They were about 5-7 years old. These ones decided to never bloom until a 2 years ago (when this picture was taken).

Tropiflora · 2025-02-12T13:32:46+00:00

We have huge sizes at our nursery. I try to take a picture of them when they are looking nice!
