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.

Excellent!!
Color: Beige, Size: Large
Really loved these shirts for my hubby. They were pretty good quality shirts. Love the linen material. Also love the buttons on the collar which my husband prefers to wear with his jackets. They are very comfortable. As far as size, I ordered according to the size chart. He typically wears a size Large. According to the size chart an XL would best so that’s what I ordered. But I truly believe that a size L would’ve been better. So I would say they are true to size. My husband weighs 205, and has muscles and a size L would’ve been just fine. I ordered 3 because I loved them. I’ll stay with the XL. But if I were to order more I’ll preorder a Large. Very happy with this purchase. They are not slim fit either. Just for an FYI.

Quality + Fit + Value - VERY pleasantly surprised!
Color: Black, Size: Large
I stand at 6.0125" 200lb (showing signs of a Dad bod)., and the large was a perfect fit for me. The quality exceeded expectations, perfect thickness and weight for the colder months. I actually set this up between a Boss & Ted Baker (my-go's to in past 10-years) and asked my date to pick one of three - she grabbed this shirt. if you're looking to re-evaluate how much your spend on dress shirts - this Brand will not disappoint in terms of quality and fit. If your wearing brands like Express, Banana or even worse - Untuck-it, consider this a marginal upgrade. I'm going to by a few more and I'll update if anything changes.

Great shirt
Color: Beige, Size: Medium
Great fit, seemed like thin to medium weight fabric which is perfect for him. Lil with any linen blends, they wrinkle so it is more of a casual wear. Washes great and is super soft when wearing.

Trashed after one wash
Color: Beige, Size: Small
It’s a great looking shirt. The price is good. The fit is good. But it’s so scratchy that it’s like wearing a potato sack. And after washing it ONCE it pilled so bad that I had to throw it away because it looked like an electrical sander had been used on it. But this is what Amazon has become: bad quality everything.
