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.

Just Right!
Format: Hardcover
Now in its second edition, this book by Terry G. Carter, J. Scott Duvall, and J. Daniel Hayes lives up to its subtitle: a hands-on approach to preparing, developing, and delivering the sermon. It strikes me as a success because of its clear value as a first textbook for someone learning how to put together a sermon. It does better than most at keeping a big-picture view as it assembles the pieces of the sermon. There are other books that, perhaps, dive deeper into the details – the works of Jerry Vines comes to mind – but this one may be “just right” for a wide array of readers. The book is divided into three parts: eight chapters on developing and preaching a sermon, three chapters on preaching the New Testament, and four chapters on preaching the Old Testament. Duvall and Hays had earlier produced a hermeneutics textbook entitled Grasping God’s Word, which is also published by Zondervan, so this book assumes an understanding of hermeneutics and goes straight into putting together a sermon after that work has been done. The first chapter introduces their 11-step sermon process. Chapter 2 covers the first five steps: grasp the meaning of the text in their town, measure the width of the interpretive river, cross the principlizing bridge, consult the biblical map, and grasp the text in our town. As you can see, they word this information in practical terms aimed at our maximum understanding. Again, they avoid being either too shallow or too deep and succeed at being “just right”. After all that wonderful help for putting the sermon together, the other two parts on the Old and New Testaments look at the genres and their unique challenges for the preacher found in each. Most of these were wonderful. The value of the chapter on preaching Revelation might correspond to your own prophetic viewpoint. Actually, they tell you that that might be the case when you preach the Book of Revelation. If you’ve been called to preach and are trying to figure out how to put a sermon together, you owe it to yourself to check this book out. I received this book free from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255.

Great reference
Format: Paperback
I used this reference a good but when I was new to practice in a walk-in clinic. From animal bites to corneal abrasions to toenail avulsions, it gave concise treatment recommendations that helped me through my cases. While I need to rely on it a lot less now, I did purchase this to update an older edition and I’ve been equally happy with it

Terrific resource
I work in an urgent care and have been practicing for a little over a year now. This is the perfect resource! I love the ebook option as well with videos that walk you through some procedures. I would definitely recommend buying this if you are a new provider or new to an urgent care setting!
