DESCRIPTION: Wow! These are the thickest, heaviest chiapensis we have released to date. These are a select form that grow much larger and thicker than normal chiapensis. Chiapensis produces one of the most beautiful blooms of any plant in the Tillandsia genus. It is native to Mexico. More specifically, it is found in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas, hence its name. This region is known for its diverse flora and is home to various species of Tillandsia and other bromeliads. Tillandsia chiapensis is typically found growing epiphytically on trees, rocks, or other surfaces in its natural habitat.

Due to the old age of this plant, there may be some dark algae growing toward the base. This is natural to see and can be removed gently with a brush if desired. These are also grown with slow release fertilizer pellets so if you look deep within the leaves of the plant and see some small white spheres, they are the pellets, which can be left in place.
