Tillandsia mima v mima

Origins: Peru Bloom: Long, compound inflorescence  Light: Strong indirect and/or filtered light, some direct light okay Water: Spray twice a week, allow to dry within 6-8 hours.  Soak only during very hot and dry months for no more than an hour   This is a very rare form of mima, with much thicker, wider leaves than that of T. mima v chilitensis.  This form grows very large, very slowly.  Will produce many vegetative pups from the base over the years, and produces a large, ornate bloom.  Very rarely available in cultivation, this is a true collector's species
