Tillandsia butzii x Tillandsia fasciculata

Origins: Unknown origins, originally acquired from Davis Farms Bloom: Long, compound inflorescence with several red to yellow bracts and purple flowers Light: Strong indirect or filtered light Water: Spray or dunk twice a week, allow to dry within 6-8 hours.  Soak monthly to rehydrate up to 4 hours as necessary.  Be sure to thoroughly dry plant after soaking to avoid rotting   This plant looks like a butzii on steroids.  Butzii features tend to dominate hybrids it is in, and this is no exception.  Large bulbous base, long leaves that are thick at the base and wispy at the tip.  Inflorescence is definitely influenced by fasciculata as it is much larger and more colorful than a traditional butzii bloom
