A masterful hybrid airplant by Paul Isley combining two crown jewels of the Tillandsia world: the majestic T. xerographica, known for its sculptural form and drought tolerance, and the elegant T. rothii, celebrated for its dense silvery trichomes and spectacular blooms.

Parentage: Tillandsia xerographica  × Tillandsia rothii

Key features:

  • Dramatic rosette form with gracefully arching leaves
  • Intermediate grey-green coloration reflecting both parents
  • Impressive size potential inherited from T. xerographica
  • Enhanced water retention capabilities from both species
  • Complex inflorescence combining parental traits

The specimen in the image showcases the hybrid's stunning form - a perfect symmetrical rosette with broad, elegantly curving leaves that create a living sculpture. Each leaf displays the characteristic silvery-sage coloration, a beautiful intermediate between T. xerographica's grey-white and T. rothii's deeper green. The dense trichome coverage creates a frosted appearance that catches and reflects light beautifully.

Collector's note: This hybrid represents a pinnacle of Tillandsia breeding, combining T. xerographica's renowned drought tolerance and architectural form with T. rothii's enhanced water absorption capabilities. The parent species are both from Central America but adapted to different microclimates, resulting in a hybrid that's both hardy and spectacular.

Care tips: Provide bright, filtered light with some morning sun. Water thoroughly twice weekly by misting or dunking, ensuring complete drying within 6-8 hours. Monthly soaking up to 2 hours helps maintain optimal hydration, but careful drying is essential to prevent rot.

Ideal for:

  • Serious Tillandsia collectors
  • Architectural plant enthusiasts
  • Contemporary indoor landscapes
  • Exhibition displays

Display recommendation: Mount 'Best in Class' where its dramatic form can be viewed from all angles - suspended in a bright space or displayed on a pedestal to showcase its perfect symmetry.

Elevate your collection with 'Best in Class' - a living testament to the art of Tillandsia hybridization that truly lives up to its name.

Fall off!
I want to love these but they won’t stay on my baby’s feet- which of course is very important. Pros: 1. Adorable 2. Soft 3. Warm Cons: 1. Constantly fall off
