About Tillandsia edithae clone
This Tillandsia edithae clone is T.I. Clone stock, so Davis Farms acquired these plants from Tillandsia International’s collection when that grower closed. We list it separately from our other edithae forms. It is a distinct clone with its own growth habit, not an interchangeable restock of the same plant.
Our edithae Large Green and Silver forms sell as individual specimens. This clone instead builds into a full cascading clump over several years, rather than staying a single rosette. It suits a buyer planning ahead more than one wanting an instant centerpiece.
It ships across four grades, from Mini at an inch or more to Large at 5-6 inches and up, measured tall and/or wide. The range lets a shop stock an entry-level size alongside a larger, more established piece from the same clone.
At $2.50 wholesale, it’s an accessible way to carry a named clone rather than a generic edithae, which matters to collectors who track provenance.
Because the clump habit is the selling point, it rewards patience. A buyer who holds stock for a season or two sees a noticeably fuller plant than what left our nursery, and that transformation is part of the sell.
Growing Tillandsia edithae clone: Care Guide
Run this clone on a xeric schedule, the same as our other edithae forms. Soak it 10-14 days, then invert and shake out trapped water so the base doesn’t sit wet between waterings.
- Water: Soak 10-14 days, then invert and shake dry.
- Light: High light with strong airflow.
- Feeding: Diluted TillyBoost Fertilizer monthly speeds the clump along.
- Patience: The cascading clump takes several years, so don’t judge it against a fast clumper.
- Grading: Mini through Large available; larger grades are already partway to a clump.
Feed it TillyBoost Fertilizer on a regular cycle. See our other edithae forms, and more of the wider Tillandsia genus, in the Rare Air Plants category, or check the air plant care guide for soak-and-dry basics.
