Butzii

The Tillandsia  Butzii, pronounced 'Bootsie-eye', is one of my favorite varieties, probably because I like the name so much! He's a wild one with long speckled, spider-like legs and a bulbous belly.  The leaves are a deep shiny green, with more speckling towards the base. They grow to about 8-10 inches, and will rock a gorgeous violet flower during its bloom cycle.  *I recommend pairing these with the hanging hammocks. Also looks gorgeous paired with cholla wood, in a terrarium or in an empty shell to resemble a creature of the sea.  Butzii care recommendations: Soak in a bowl or sink for about 15 minutes- once or twice a week in the summer, and once a week in the winter. In general, the hotter/drier it is, the more often it needs to be watered. Shake out all excess water after soaking Be sure to dry completely as the bulbous body can be prone to rot The Butzii does well in moderate to bright indirect light
