Tillandsia x genseri (Natural hybrid of Tillandsia argentina and Tillandsia ixioides)

Origins: Found in Argentina, from the collection of L. Hromadnik Bloom: Short, simple inflorescence with a pink bract and pink flowers Light: Strong indirect or filtered light Water: Spray or dunk twice a week, soak monthly to rehydrate up to 2 hours as necessary.  Allow proper time and conditions for plant to thoroughly dry after any watering   This natural hybrid, first described by Werner Rauh after finding it in Argentina, predominantly resembles T. argentina, the seed parent.  The leaves are longer and the plant has a more open rosette than T. argentina, which is the influence of T. ixioides.  Neat little clumper best mounted on wood or rock (first discovered growing on rocks)
