Description
About capillaris Type 1 clumps
capillaris Type 1 is one of several numbered stock ranges we carry of Tillandsia capillaris. As with the other numbered listings, “Type 1” identifies a growing batch and source range rather than a distinct named cultivar — the honest answer is that these numbers track where the stock came from, not how the plant looks or grows differently.
Type 1 ships as a small clump of 3-5 plants, matching Type 2 on both size and price. Think of it as our baseline capillaris offering: the plant in its most standard, unmodified form, sourced from a different growing range than our other numbered batches.
Capillaris is a fine, wiry, grass-like species that clumps readily on its own. A 3-5 plant clump at this price point gives a shop a reliable, repeatable SKU to reorder without worrying about batch-to-batch variation in size or presentation.
It’s a solid choice for a buyer who wants the plainest, most predictable version of this species rather than chasing a particular numbered range for its own sake.
Because it’s priced alongside Type 2, the two can be stocked interchangeably as reorder points without disrupting a shelf plan.
