This distinct variety was formally described by Lautner \u0026amp; Ehlers in 2001. It is native to the vicinity of El Tule, Oaxaca, Mexico, where it grows as a lithophyte on steep rocks at an altitude of about 5,300 feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis variety is distinguished from the standard Tillandsia mitlaensis by its caulescent (stem-forming) growth habit. While the typical form is a stemless, fasciculate lithophyte, var. tulensis develops a distinct, long stem over time. Its leaves are narrower and smaller than the typical species, covered with appressed silvery-white scales (trichomes) that give the foliage a striking, almost white appearance. The rosette is secund, meaning it arches gracefully to one side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen in bloom, this plant produces a simple, erect inflorescence about six inches long, with eye-catching pink bracts and tubular purple flowers. Easy to grow under standard Tillandsia conditions, this is a must-have for any serious collector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.0808%;\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33.7434%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInches\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.0808%;\"\u003eMedium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33.7434%;\"\u003e3\"-4\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCare Instructions: Provide bright, indirect or filtered light for optimal growth.
