Looking for a unique and striking addition to your curly epiphytic plant collection? Look no further than the 'Tillandsia streptophylla’. The common name of this beautiful plant is Shirley Temple.T. streptophylla, which belongs to the Bromeliaceae family, develops much faster than most air plants. This magnificent air plant has delicate, contorted leaves that resemble the famous child actress with the curly hair of the same name. Her soft, flowing tresses are known for their curls. 

Tillandsia streptophylla is a wonderful air plant native to Mexico. Growing from 6 to 8 inches in height, this variety is noted for its unique curly ringlet pastel green leaves that cascade downward in a mesmerizing fashion. As it matures, these tightly curled leaves gradually unfurl to reveal a stunning rosette shape, adding an extra touch of elegance to its already ethereal appearance. 

Some people have remarked that because of its diminutive size, Streptophylla resembles a small Xerographica. Both the Xerographica and Tillandsia Streptophylla air plants have contrasting leaves, with Xerographica having wider, thicker leaves with a rosette-like appearance and Tillandsia having thinner, flexible leaves. 

Streptophyllaair plant is relatively fast-growing. It is easy to grow and care for. TheTillandsia streptophyllaair plant flower has a lovely pink tint. The center of the plant turns pink in color throughout the blooming time, earning it the name blushing plant.

Watering Needs

As they thrive well in dry conditions, these Tillandsia streptophylla do not need frequent watering. It prefers misting or gentle rinsing that reaches the base of the leaves and the center of the rosette. You can mist them a couple of times a week if the climate is mild. On the contrary, if you live in dry arid regions, it is best to soak your Shirley Temple in water for five minutes once every week! Do not forget to let the curly plant dry out after watering to prevent rot. Remember, it's better to underwater than overwater this curly succulent plant. 

After watering, make sure to shake off any excess water and allow your Tillandsia to dry in a well-ventilated area. It will absorb the morning dew drops through its leaves or trichomes. If given less moisture, its leaves curl inwards. 

It's important to monitor the humidity levels in your environment, and local weather conditions as it can affect the watering needs of Tillandsia Streptophylla. If the air is too dry, you can provide additional humidity by misting the plant more frequently or placing it near a humidifier. 

Light Requirements 

Tillandsia streptophyllaplants grow at their best in indoor settings. They prefer moderate to bright indirect sunlight. Avoid placing them outside in direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. This Shirley temple does well in spaces with bright, filtered light, such as near a window with a sheer curtain or in a well-lit room. 

If you're unsure about the light levels in your space, you can observe the plant's leaves. If they start to turn brown or yellow, it may be an indication that the light is too intense. On the other hand, if the leaves become elongated and stretch toward the light source, it may be a sign that it needs more light. 

Remember, each plant is unique, so it's important to find the right balance of light for your Tillandsia Streptophylla. If you notice any changes in the plant's appearance, you can adjust its placement accordingly. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

Tillandsia Streptophylla is an air plant that doesn't require soil. It actually absorbs nutrients and moisture through its leaves. Instead of soil, you can place the plant in a well-draining container or attach it to a piece of driftwood, cork, or other decorative objects. This allows the plant to thrive in a variety of creative displays. 

When it comes to fertilizing your Shirley temple, it's important to use a specialized air plant fertilizer. These fertilizers are formulated to provide the necessary nutrients without harming your succulent. You can dilute the fertilizer according to the instructions on the package and apply it to the plant's leaves during its regular watering routine. However, be careful not to over-fertilize, as it can lead to damage or burn the Tillandsia plant. 

Remember, air plants like Tillandsia Streptophylla are low-maintenance and don't require frequent fertilization. 

Hardiness Zone & More 

The Tillandsia Streptophylla is native to Central America and thrives in warm and tropical climates. It is generally recommended for hardiness zones 9-11, which are regions with mild winters and high temperatures year-round. These air plants prefer temperatures between 60°F and 80°F. It can tolerate slightly higher temperatures but may struggle in extreme heat or cold. It's important to protect your Shirley Temple plant from frost or freezing temperatures, as it is not frost-tolerant.  

In terms of humidity, Tillandsia Streptophylla air plant prefers moderate to high humidity levels. It is adapted to the humid environments of its native habitat. To provide optimal humidity, you can mist it with water regularly or place it in a humid location such as a bathroom or near a humidifier. However, be careful not to overwater the plant, as it can lead to rot or other issues.

Great replacement screen for an old Chromebook
Size: 15.6" 1080P
Needed a new Screen for an older touch-screen Samsung Chromebook that bit the dust. Repairing it wasn't an option since it's no longer available. Enter this gem of a portable monitor. It works great. Not a replacement touch screen, but works fine with the chromebook touch pad or mouse and dongle. Easy to hook up, a bit testy on first several attempted to bluetooth connect, but works fine now. The speakers leave a bit to be desired, but I just use Bluetooth speakers anyway. Overall, very pleased with the screen clarity and responsiveness of this portable monitor. 15" screen. Great value! I'd buy it again.

Exceptional - Better than one twice the price
Size: 15.6" 1080P
I bought a different external monitor a few years ago for twice the price and it was abominable compared to this monitor. This monitor is absolutely perfect. The speakers are definitely tinny like others mentioned, so don't expect to DJ a party with this thing, but for work it's perfect since that means voices are clearer anyways. The sound just isn't as full/rounded with proper bass, but it doesn't even matter because there's also a headphone jack on the monitor, too. USB-C is a total game changer for powering and passing full audio-visual in a single port. The included cables are also a big win since getting a spare data USB-C cable can get pricey and I know the one included is guaranteed to work with this monitor. It was literally plug-and-play with my 2023 16" Macbook Pro. I could go on and on about how every detail of this monitor is perfect, like how the stand is also a screen protector cover and how light and easy it is to carry and how the little grippy feet hold it in place confidently, but my point is THIS is FINALLY the external monitor I've been looking for!!!

Great purchase and recommend!
Size: 15.6" 1080P, Size: 15.6" 1080P
What a great product! First I’ll start by saying it’s very lightweight which is what I needed to fit in my bag. I bought two of them because I need three screens and I couldn’t be happier. Set up, one cord!!! No power cord needed pulls power from the laptop so that’s a huge win in my book! I love the size I love the case is attached. Definitely recommend

Works as advertised, but included USB-C cable was defective.
Size: 15.6" 1080P
This monitor performs great! Picture quality, brightness, all work as expected. When powered by a phone, you may have to limit the brightness below 80% if you don't attach extra power. The good news is, I can attach a power bank for the extra power, and any extra power not needed by the monitor will pass through and charge my phone. I've tested this with my laptop, phone, and tablet, and it works great in all cases. One extra plus that I didn't expect, because it was not listed in the product description and also not mentioned in any reviews that I saw, is that this monitor has VESA compatible holes for a VESA mount hidden behind the magnetic cover on the back. Beautiful. If I ever decide to mount it to an arm I can do it. All the advertised functionality works as expected with ONE exception. The USB-C cable that came with this monitor was faulty. It had a short across a couple of wires which could have caused damage to my phone had my phone not recognized it and alerted me of foreign object or water in the port. That water and foreign object warning basically means something is causing wires to be connected that shouldn't be and assumes you have a good cable. In my case, it was the cable itself that was faulty, and I used a tester to make sure. While the description says "do not use other USB-C to USB-C cables", that is just to cover themselves, because many people will use a USB-C cable meant only for charging, or one that is not display compatible. I have cables of varying lengths that are Thunderbolt USB-C which all handle between 100-240W power, data up to 100Gbps, and displays up to 8K. I just used one of my cables and everything works just fine. If you're having trouble with your monitor, or intermittent connections with the monitor (I did before I got the warning) then you may have a bad cable. Get a quality cable and make sure it's rated for display port, high data throughput (ideally minimum 40Gbps), and decent power capacity. Some will work for data but not power. Some work with power but not data. Some work with power and data, but only one at a time. You have to flip the connector to go between modes. I don't know why they make those, and those that manufacture such garbage should be locked up, but that's another story for another day. Bottom line is this. It's a quality monitor. If it ever starts having issues, I'll update the review. The cables I'm not so sure of. The HDMI cable is sufficient enough for FHD display, but I wouldn't recommend swapping it over to a higher res monitor, as it probably can't handle it. The USB-C cable has quality control issues, as they sourced out inexpensive cables for this monitor to keep the costs down. No big deal for me, as I have an abundance of good cables, but keep that in mind that you may need to consider the cost of quality cables for this monitor. I'm glad I bought it. It's going to make me much more productive. While I was disappointed in the USB-C cable, it's not a deal breaker as I already had plenty. Minus one star for the bad cable.

Versatile, Great size, great value and bright. A little heavy, but well worth the cost.
Size: 15.6" 1080P
I own two of these monitors, I have been very happy with them. I carry them in my backpack/laptop case with all of my needed accessories, and it just simply works. I work from home and I was looking for something that I could take with me when I travel. My typical home setup involves a 43" LG monitor in the center, and then four additional 1080P monitors. When I am on the road, I need something smaller to have more "real estate" to work with. I usually use a hotel 4k TV or 4k tv at the air BNB we stay at so that I don't have to the 43" LG, but sometimes I just use these two portable screens. I have held meetings from a roadside park from the back of my Suburban with these while we were camping, from Panera while mixing audio, from a waiting room at an office while waiting on someone to complete their day, etc. All in all, the two that I have allow me to streamline my workflow when travelling. I have multiple windows up during the workday; I gather information from those screens and consolidate/copy/paste/ reference the data on my main laptop screen in the front and center. These monitors simply allow me to replicate what I have at home, but on a smaller and (somewhat) lighter scale. The good: I am not a gamer, so I cannot comment on how these would work in a gaming setup, I work on documents and reporting. With that said, these have great color at a great size. I can fit my Macbook Pro, and up to four of these screens in my bag, plus all my accessories, including Jabra Engage 75 headset, Plantronics headset (backup) , Apple keyboard and mouse, StreamDeck, USB-C Hub, and when needed, a universal Docking station that uses DisplayLink technology (Dell UD22) to get the extra screens. Without that, the Mac won't support more than 3 or 4 displays (Check specs for your PC/Mac). I like that these are USB-C *AND* HDMI. I can use them on pretty much any modern PC. To use the HDMI, however, You do need to power the monitor over USB-C with the provided cable. That's not a product issue, it's simply because that's the way HDMI works, there is no power over the cable. VESA capable, which is a big plus, I have magnetic VESA arms and I leave the plates on these monitors so I can use them anywhere. The bad: The rotator dial on the side has a tendency to get smashed in, but I don't use audio on either of the screens. I have a Bluetooth noise cancelling over the hear headphone set for that. A more solid design would have been with tactile push buttons instead of the rotator dial. I only have this problem with one of the screens. When I put them the backpack, I now put them in with the rotator dial pointed up to ensure a drop of the bag doesn't chance damaging the equipment. The ugly: The weight of the screens and associated covers adds about 2.5 lbs each, which is a lot. I have ordered two more, so that will be 10 lbs in the laptop backpack. May need to switch to a roller bag to cart this entourage around. Once I get the other two, I will revise this review. Right now I don't know if I will have to use the UD22 to utilize all of these screens simultaneously.
