Description
Tillandsia myriantha looks similar to the large form of espinosae, already familiar to collectors of that species. It pups on running stolons and forms great clumps quickly, and we have very few available for a limited time.
About Tillandsia myriantha
The stolon-based growth habit is what makes this species interesting to grow. Rather than producing pups tightly around the base, myriantha sends out runners that establish new plants a short distance away, gradually building a spreading colony rather than a single dense clump.
That growth pattern means a single starter plant can fill out a mount or display piece faster than a species that only offsets at the base. It’s a good choice for a buyer who wants visible growth and multiplication over a relatively short time. If you already carry espinosae, myriantha gives customers a closely related look with a genuinely different multiplication habit to talk about. Limited numbers like this are a good reason to feature it prominently rather than holding it back for a future restock that may not come soon.
Growing Tillandsia myriantha: Care Guide
Water it the way you would espinosae: soak for 10 to 14 days, then invert and shake out any trapped water thoroughly. Give it bright light and strong airflow to match its xeric growing needs.
Feed monthly with diluted TillyBoost Fertilizer. Because it spreads via stolons, mount it on a larger piece of wood or cork with room to grow; see our Air Plant Displays for options. For general care guidance, visit our Air Plant Care page. Learn more about the genus at Tillandsia on Wikipedia.
