DESCRIPTION: Tillandsia kammii is a species in the genus Tillandsia that is native to Honduras,[2] but has also been collected in El Salvador.[3] It was first discovered in Honduras in 1977 in the regions of Olancho, Lempira and Copan. You will receive a plant of similar size and shape to the one pictured here. Tillandsia kammii is a xerophytic epiphyte.[7] It is one of only four species of Tillandsia that is protected by the CITES Appendix II.[8]

T. kammii has densely arranged leaves and often grows between five and ten centimeters tall. It has thin wiry roots and has been known to grow both as a single plant and in clusters. This plant has a short, bright red inflorescence, surrounded by violet petals, that rarely lasts more than a day after blooming. Unsurprisingly, this plant has a rough texture and appearance which is due to coarse trichomes covering its leaves.

Tillandsia kammii closely resembles both T. velutina and T. plagiotropica. It is differentiated from the former by its larger, denser trichomes, and from the latter by its narrower, longer, and more flexible leaves.  You will receive a plant similar in size to the ones pictured in the secondary photos but will grow to the size of one in the main profile photo in about a year. 

SIZE: Current crop size is 4" which is closer to the size pictured in the photo of the kammii that has the red blush and bud.
