Tillandsia zecheri

Origins: Can be found in Argentina.  These were imported from a South American grower Bloom: Short, simple inflorescence with a reddish-pink bract and long, trumpet-like tri petaled purple flowers Light: Strong indirect light or filtered light, some direct light okay Water: Spray or dunk twice a week, allow to dry within 6-8 hours.  Soak monthly to rehydrate up to 2 hours as necessary.  This clone seems much larger than typical clones of zecheri but now that I've had one bloom the ID looks correct.  This clone is lepidote (fuzzy) with longer, slightly recurved leaves.  Large specimen sized plants available
