Tillandsia cacticola Thin Leaf - a visually striking air plant native to the dry forests and rocky deserts of Peru. Its name reflects its natural habit of growing on cacti for support:

  • Foliage: Forms a rosette of soft, narrow, densely packed, silvery-white or gray-green leaves that are covered in tiny, moisture-absorbing scales called trichomes. Leaves are pliable and curve gracefully outward, often taking on a slightly recurved shape as they mature
  • Inflorescence: It produces a tall, showy spike with lilac-lavender bracts and delicate, cream-colored or violet-tinged tubular flowers that bloom over a long period 
  • Fragrance: While not overpowering like a garden flower, the blooms of Tillandsia cacticola are often described as having a clean, fresh, slightly sweet scent. It is most notable on warm mornings when the flowers are fully open. 

Key features:

  • In its native Peru, it is found growing vertically on the shaded sides of large columnar cacti. It rarely grows on rocks or trees, preferring the protection and drainage provided by cactus spines
  • Growth Pattern: The species has a slow, deliberate growth pattern. It tends to be a single, large specimen for a long time before producing pups. After blooming, it is prolific in pupping and the pups usually emerge from the base after the mother plant has peaked. It has a very short stem, meaning the leaves grow from a compact base, giving it a tidy, structured appearance. 
  • Size: At maturity, the plant typically reaches 20-25cm (8-10") in diameter. The plant body itself usually stays under 6 inches tall. A key identifier is that the flower spike is often taller than the foliage, extending 10-12" above the plant. 

 

 Size Inches (Diameter)
Large 6"-8"
X-Large 8"-10"
Specimen 10"+

 

Care tip: Caring for this plant is all about balancing its three main needs:light, water, and airflow. It is considered an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced collectors 

Ideal for: Beginners, gardeners with limited space, creative decorator, low-water plant collector, and pollinator enthusiasts

This shirt brings mens dress shirts to a new level. My husband wears it with slacks or jeans.
Color: Army Green, Size: X-Large
Kudos to whoever designed and manufactured this shirt! It is stylish with interesting details. It can be gently washed in your washing machine and dried on a warm setting. The fabric is next level, feels like cotton with a tech stiffness to it. It has a dull sheen. I'd say "give it a shot". I ordered one and it was sooo handsome that I got my husband some other colors. Bonus.....The cut is generous enough to make a bit of a paunch disappear.

Well-made shirt.
Color: Light Grey, Size: Small
Material doesn’t feel light or flimsy. Very soft and fits well. Not too loose or too tight. Plan to purchase another one down the road.

Fit and color are spot on
Love the shirt and the material is great! It washes and iron well. The fit was perfect on my husband and he really liked it as well. We will definitely be ordering more colors. We got the blue color and it is just as pictured. Love the strip also it really adds to the look.

Shirt Without Buttons
Color: Navy Blue, Size: 3X-Large
I bought about seven of these shirts. They are soft and very comfortable to wear. However, it appears to be a major quality control issue with these shirts, regardless of the color. The buttons keep falling off the shirt on their own. Even when I wash them in the washing machine, on delicate. And the most frustrating thing about the whole ordeal, I have no extra buttons to replace those that fell off. I have shirts that I have had for years, and the buttons are still on the shirts. What's more, they each have extra buttons, one small and one regular size. I guess since the shirt is made in China, they make money by using low quality thread and not putting any replacement buttons. You be the judge, to buy or not to buy, if you can deal with the buttons coming off and nothing to replace them with. The choice is yours.
