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.

Awesome bone for all dogs!
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1), Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
My dogs LOVE this pig ear! It is very lightweight and easy for any dog, from my Great Dane to my Maltipoo, to carry and chew on. It has no odor, yet the dogs were interested immediately after smelling it. The pig ear is perfect for every dog in our household and keeps them busy for hours. Since it is curved, it is easy for them to hold on to and to pick up. We have had this bone for a few weeks, and it has lasted through our little dogs, fosters, and Great Dane! The bone is very durable, and based on the previous bones we’ve gotten from Pet Qwerks, I’m guessing it’s going to last quite a while! I recommend this to anyone wanting a long-lasting bone for their pups, especially those tough chewers!

Large and durable!
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
It's large but my pitties love it. I bought this to replace a small one I found at a local store about a year ago and this one is better! Large and durable and a favorite with my boys!

Chewer was indifferent
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
At first, the two ears I bought were mainly ignored. Now I am seeing teething marks. Took about 2 months for my chewer to stop chewing my wood fence and on these.

great chew!
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1), Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
Our dog is a BIG fan of PetQwerks so when we saw this bacon dog chew, we had to try it out! Chews are amazing for hyperactive dogs, dogs with separation anxiety, etc. They keep dogs out of trouble and is great for dental hygiene! Our dog doesn't enjoy getting his teeth cleaned with a toothbrush so we give him lots of chew toys. When we opened up our amazon box, our dog was being so nosy and immediately took to the bone! Awesome chew and we love PetQwerks!
