Discover Tillandsia 'Houston', an exceptional hybrid that has captivated airplant enthusiasts for decades:

Parentage: Tillandsia stricta × Tillandsia recurvifolia
Origin: Created by Mark A. Dimmitt in the 1980s
Distinctive traits: Combines vigor and rosette form of T. stricta with the silvery coloration of T. recurvifolia
Classification: Grey tillandsia (adapted to drier, more exposed habitats)

Key features:

  • Vibrant foliage: Bright silvery-green leaves form an attractive rosette
  • Impressive size: Grows larger than either parent species
  • Stunning blooms: Light purple inflorescences with violaceous to white, funnel-shaped flowers
  • Adaptable nature: Thrives in various mounting options (wood, stone, terrariums)
  • Prolific propagator: Produces multiple pups after blooming

Appearance: As seen in the image, 'Houston' forms a symmetrical rosette of long, slender leaves. The foliage displays a beautiful gradient from bright lime green at the center to silvery-green at the tips. Each leaf curves gracefully outward, creating a living sculpture that catches light beautifully. The plant's form is both elegant and dynamic, with a slight wild quality to its outermost leaves.

Scientific note: This hybrid demonstrates:

  • The successful combination of desirable traits from two distinct Tillandsia species
  • Adaptation to drier environments through increased trichomes (absorbent scales) on leaves
  • The potential for creating larger, more vigorous plants through selective breeding

Care tips:

  • Light: Provide very bright, indirect light
  • Water: Mist 2-3 times weekly or soak occasionally, allowing to dry completely between waterings
  • Fertilizer: Use a dilute orchid or tillandsia fertilizer every other watering during growing season
  • Mounting: Can be tied or glued to wood, stone, or incorporated into dry to moderately humid terrariums

Ideal for:

  • Collectors seeking a classic, time-tested Tillandsia hybrid
  • Those who appreciate plants with both attractive foliage and striking blooms
  • Enthusiasts looking for larger, more vigorous airplant specimens
  • Growers interested in propagation, as 'Houston' readily produces offsets

Display recommendation: The impressive size and silvery coloration of 'Houston' make it an excellent focal point in airplant displays. Consider mounting it where its full, radial form can be appreciated from all angles, and where its spectacular blooms can be easily admired when they appear.

Bring a piece of Tillandsia breeding history to your collection with Tillandsia 'Houston'. Experience the joy of nurturing this vigorous hybrid, watching as it grows into an impressive specimen crowned with its signature colorful blooms.

Just perfect.
Style: 3 Tier Cart
This cart is beautiful, solidly built and accurately engineered. The gold color is soft and a bit pearlescent. This is very nice and the smoked glass is attractive. The assembly was easy although it took a minute to find the bolts, they are in the frame pieces and need to be removed. This was great because each screw was perfectly threaded. The entire thing was wrapped in bubble wrap and yards of strong tape. It took just as long to unwrap it as it took to build it. A few supports were bent, but were easily fixed with pliers. The finished cart moves smoothly on unobtrusive casters and the shelves don’t rattle because they’re supported by suction cups inserted into the frame. This is a substantial piece and will be very serviceable for entertaining.

Very Sturdy and attractive bar cart.
Style: Square Carts
I am very impressed with the quality of this bar cart. I purchased it for the appearance/styling of it. I looked at 20 - 30 bar carts and this one was the best fit to compliment my kitchen decor. I wasn't expecting the metal to be strong & sturdy, but it was. From the amazon photo, the metal frame looked lightweight and hollow. I also could not tell by the amazon photo if the gold matte finish would look cheap or elegant. I was very pleased with the finish. It was not the shiny brass type finish that I do not like. It was easy to assemble. A friendly F.Y.I. I spent a little bit of time looking for the assembly screws, expecting them to be in the bag with the wheels. They were screwed into the frame pieces which I think is a great idea when packing an item. It 's a good way of knowing that all the screws were sent and that they fit. I will note that because of the solidness of the frame, the delivered package might be a bit heavy for some. Also I found that using a drill on low speed with a star bit made the installation go very quickly.

Nice bar cart, Inaccurate shelf heights
Style: 3 Tier Cart, Style: 3 Tier Cart
Bar cart is nice, quite easy to put together. One of the most upsetting things is that the advertised/pictured 2nd shelf height is very wrong. It’s quoted at 18.1” tall but in reality it’s only 12.5”, the same as the bottom shelf - as confirmed in other reviewers photos. So half of my bottles have to go on the very top shelf. I reached out to the manufacturer about max shelf weight but they refused to give me an answer. I have about 30lbs+ on each shelf with the slightest bow in the center as there is only shelf support on the very ends.
