Tillandsia 'Rainbow Sherbert' (T. xiphioides x T. zecheri)

Tillandsia 'Rainbow Sherbert' - this remarkable hybrid brings together the exceptional traits of its parents: the large flowers and brilliant white trichomes of Tillandsia xiphioides, combined with the beautiful blossoms and metallic-textured foliage of Tillandsia zecheri.

The plant itself is a striking specimen. Its leaves are hard, succulent, and covered in a dense layer of trichomes, giving them a beautiful silver hue with a metallic, almost frosted texture. This silvery foliage provides a stunning backdrop for its extraordinary blooms.

When it flowers, 'Rainbow Sherbert' lives up to its name. It produces exceptionally large blossoms—among the largest of any Tillandsia species. The flowers are a breathtaking mix of sherbert-like colors and hues, with a pink base blending into shades of yellow, orange, and red.

Care Instructions: Provide bright, indirect light. Water by thoroughly misting or dunking the plant in a bowl of water for 10-20 minutes, then shake off excess water and leave in an area with good ventilation to dry.
