(Note: Our X Antonios are roughly 8"+ in diameter and have one of the best colorations in the greenhouse. They look similar to Somnians but have a less waxy feel. 

This is one of the rarest air plants we have. X Antonio is known for its deep red/purple and green leaves when in bloom. This is a soft leaf plant and almost seems like it would be outside of the Tillandsia subgenus. You can plant X Antonio in fast draining media, such as perlite, but it can also be grown epiphytically (outside of soil).
