Tillandsia butzii is a member of the Tillandsia subgenus, named after a German botanist whose full story remains a mystery. This airplant  has earned the title of "strangest looking Tillandsia" for its uniquely captivating appearance.

Key features:

  • Found in open habitats from southern Mexico to Panama at elevations of 1,000-2,300 meters
  • Distinctive inflated pseudobulb base speckled with dark brown and green
  • Filiform-attenuate, subulate leaves that range from wavy to severely contorted
  • Erect, slender scape with a striking carmine inflorescence

The image showcases T. butzii in all its bizarre glory. The plant's most striking feature is its collection of thin, serpentine leaves that twist and curl in seemingly random directions. These filiform leaves emerge from a bulbous base, creating a surreal, almost alien-like appearance. The leaves' coloration ranges from greenish-brown to reddish-purple, adding to the plant's otherworldly charm.

Collector's note: T. butzii is a polarizing species that people tend to either love or strongly dislike, making it a true conversation piece. Its unique form challenges traditional notions of plant aesthetics, evoking emotional responses from observers.

Care tips: This species requires a delicate balance of moisture. While it needs frequent watering, excess water trapped in the pseudobulb can lead to rot. Growing it in an upside-down position can help mitigate this risk. It thrives in humid, well-ventilated environments with medium to bright indirect light.

Ideal for:

  • Collectors seeking unusual and visually striking Tillandsias
  • Botanical artists looking for unique subjects
  • Enthusiasts of plants with peculiar adaptations
  • Growers who enjoy a horticultural challenge

Display recommendation: Mount T. butzii on a piece of driftwood or in a hanging glass globe, positioning it upside-down to showcase its strange form and prevent water accumulation. This placement will allow its twisting leaves to cascade dramatically, creating a living sculpture.

Embrace the enigmatic allure of T. butzii - a testament to nature's endless creativity. Whether it captivates or perplexes you, this airplant is sure to be a standout in any collection, challenging perceptions and sparking curiosity with its otherworldly presence.

Way too narrow
Size: 9.5 Wide, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
I ordered a wide in this shoe, but it was still way too narrow. I had to return them. Otherwise, it looked like a nice quality shoe.

I usually wear 11.5's, but I buy 1/2 size smaller to accommodate for stretch. Leather relaxes.
Size: 11, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
5 STARS: These shoes are awesome. I keep coming back for more. I have major foot problems, have tried all kinds of shoes, orthotics, and inserts... but believe it or not, these shoes work better than any of that stuff. I wear them daily. I buy lots of them, for home, for church, and I'm getting my first pair of J&M boots today, for winters in Indiana... Brrrr

Great price great shoe
Size: 12, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
Excellent shoe. Tried the Sebago penny loafer and the sizing was ridiculous. These J and M are sized perfectly. I’ve had them before and they wear like iron. Very comfortable right out of the box.
