Native to southern Mexico, Guatemala, and El Salvador, this unique airplant thrives in dry environments.

Key Features:

  • Impressive size, growing to 10-12 inches wide and tall, with large specimens exceeding 2 feet
  • Striking rosette of silvery-gray, curling leaves
  • Long-lasting, colorful bloom spike with salmon to pink accents
  • Exceptional drought tolerance, surviving up to nine months without water

Tillandsia xerographica is a true masterpiece of nature, living up to its name, which means "dry painting." This slow-growing species forms a large, eye-catching rosette of rounded leaf bases topped with long, tapering leaf blades. These silvery-gray leaves spread outward and curve downward, often twisting into intricate shapes, creating a mesmerizing form that resembles a living sculpture crafted from pastel chalks.

When blooming, T. xerographica produces a tall, branching flower spike that's a spectacle in itself. The stem of the spike ranges from salmon to clear pink, providing a striking contrast against the pale leaves. Upright branches bear smooth, overlapping, cup-shaped bracts from which emerge soft purple flowers. This colorful display can last for weeks or even months, with the entire blooming cycle taking nearly a year from start to finish.

Collector's Note: The leaves of T. xerographica are densely covered with tiny, flattened scales that serve multiple purposes: reflecting excess light, insulating from desert heat, protecting the plant from sunburn, and helping to absorb and retain moisture.

Care Tips: Provide bright light and good air circulation. Water sparingly, allowing the plant to dry completely between waterings. Be cautious of overwatering, especially letting water collect in the center of the plant, as this can lead to rot.

Ideal for:

  • Collectors seeking impressive, sculptural airplants
  • Drought-tolerant garden enthusiasts
  • Interior designers looking for statement pieces
  • Those who appreciate slow-growing, long-lived plants

Display Recommendation: Mount on driftwood or display in a shallow dish to showcase its full, rosette form. Can be grown both indoors and outdoors in suitable climates.

Bring home this living sculpture and witness the breathtaking artistry of desert adaptation.

Moisturizing mask
Color: Rice Probiotics (Barrier Jelly)
This overnight mask is great and my skin is so soft and moisturized. It absorbs well and doesn't leave marks on my pillowcases. It's lightweight, not heavy, and I love that the mask doesn't have a scent.

Kino’s 4k Release Is A Cut Above The Prior Bluray!
Wow. Practically a night and day difference from the earlier bluray. There are the usual increases in clarity, sharpness and even less grain overall, though still entirely natural and healthy-looking. But, the biggest improvement is that the dark areas of the many true night shots, mostly found in the beginning, are much improved over that bluray, which, in that respect, looked horrid. When I first viewed it then, I had to wonder if it was a less-than-ideal print or if the original film was just that down-and-dirty in its production values. But, now I feel like I’m seeing the real quality of this film brought back to life. I’m sure Kino’s working from the 35mm, camera negative had a big impact on all that. The film is terrific, a gangland action-adventure that also doubles very well as dark comedy. Once we're initially introduced to the laid-back and even ‘leisurely amusing’ take on its own, dark material this film has to offer – then we're off and running. That, and Ritchie’s eye for detail of middle America makes for a ‘pleasing’ viewing experience, even for this otherwise, sober-minded, sordid, dark and violent content. But, this overlooked, unusual entry of a film, and it's not even really a true noir, is just as uniquely a worthwhile find today as I think it was back then - well worth going back for. Unexpectedly, it's actually a hoot! Even with the violence and nudity here, on the whole this one somehow manages to rise above. Maybe it’s the hero aspect, but also Ritchie’s effective and insightful handling of both the ambiance and material. And in every category, it’s a well made film. Evidently it wasn’t marketed as dark comedy per se, but that’s clearly what it was always meant to be – and I think it's a great one! Glad to see Kino now giving it its due in a form that finally does it justice! Don’t sleep on this one!

Wow, a great surprise dark comedy from the 1970s!
A real treat from Michael Ritchie (The Golden Child) with an excellent script, an A+ cast and plenty of action, despite the fact that it's really a very dark – almost surreal – comedy/satire about the meat industry in the 'American Heartland.' As usual, Lee Marvin, Gene Hackman and Sissy Spacek bring their best work. very graphic cinematography, real physical special effects (no CGI) and good plot twists make it a riveting experience. Highly recommended for those who like their dark satires well-done!
