Tillandsia Stricta hard leaf is a small to medium sized, easy to grow air plant. It's leaves are firm and evergreen. Tillandsia Stricta hard leaf has irregular leaf growth, spiraling upwards along the center of the plant. It's optimal temperature is 75 +/- 10, with tolerance for higher temperatures and humidity. Tillandsia Stricta hard leaf blooms in spring to early summer with one vibrant flower spike with pink inflorescences and bluish-purple flowers and will clump with time.

Stages of Tillandsia Stricta Hard Leaf


From Green to Blush T. Stricta Hard Leaf is a robust medium sized evergreen variety with a firm dense rosette of smooth-edged straight leaves. T. Stricta Hard Leaf displays colors of green to dark green with small, less prominent trichomes. When transitioning into bloom the leaves will change from green to a soft pink color focusing around the bloom. The leaves are a great indicator for the plants need for water when they show signs of curling. Care must be taken to ensure water does not pool in its bulbous base, as this will cause rot. Good air flow will assist with drying and turning the plant upside down after watering will prevent water from pooling.	Bud Formation & Blooms T. Stricta Hard Leaf blooms in spring to early summer. They have one of the brightest blooms in the genus with one vibrant flower spike that has apink inflorescence and bluish-purple flowers. Their flowers can be enjoyed for several days and will then begin to dry up over the next couple of weeks until the entire inflorescence has completely dried out. At this point you can trim the inflorescence for aesthetic purposes or leave it as is. Fertilizing your Tillandsia with The Drunken Gnome's Bromeliad & Air Plant Food will help encourage budding and brighter blooms.	Reproduction & Propagation T. Stricta have a life cycle of growing to maturity and then blooming. Before, during, or after blooming T. Stricta will start producing new baby plants called offsets, which are also known as pups. Stricta is a quick grower that produces lots of pups that clump together to form a ball. On average it will produce between 1 - 4+ pups. The pups will obtain nutrients from the mother plant as she ends her lifecycle. They can be separated once the pups grow to 1/3 or half the size of the mother plant. A gentle tug and twist will not hurt the plants as you remove the pups.	Receiving Your Airplant No matter what stage your T. Stricta(s) are in at the time of arrival, they will continue to grow and change over time. Once you receive your new air plant(s), it's important to give them a good soaking and acclimate them to their new environment. Take care of your air plants and provide for them by nourishing them with adequate sunlight, airflow, water and nutrients and they will reward you for years to come!

Tillandsia General Information

Tillandsia, commonly known as Air Plants, are an adaptive and hardy plant species which require no soil and absorb all of their water and nutrients through their leaves.

Enthusiasts of all kinds love to attach air plants to all types of objects such as driftwood, hanging in an air plant holder, or placed in a glass orb terrarium. Indoor grown Tillandsias generally need to be watered about 1-3 times a week by spraying the plant and kept in indirect sunlight. Not only are they fun and easy to keep, air plants are also a great choice of air purifying plants. Whether they are kept in your home, garden, office, kitchen windowsill, terrarium, vivarium or enchanted fairy garden, these adorable little plants will naturally clean and filter the air around you while adding a little bit of nature to your indoor space.

Life Cycle

Tillandsia have a life cycle of one plant growing to maturity and blooming. Before, during or after blooming (depending on the species) your plant will start producing offsets (pups). Most plants will produce between 1 - 4+ pups. The pups will obtain nutrients from the mother plant as she ends her lifecycle. They can be separated once the pups grow to 1/3 or half the size of the mother plant.


Roots Tillandsia roots have one task, strictly for anchoring to any tree, rock surface, structure or host plant (even one another). The roots take in no nourishment from the host nor do they supply the Tillandsia with any nutrients. Tillandsia roots are used to secure a place for growth and position the plant to receive optimal light and water. Roots are not an integral part of an air plants life or health and the absence of roots is not a sign of poor health. Do not plant their roots in soil as it will cause the air plant to rot. For aesthetic purposes roots, may be removed from just below the base of the air plant using scissors.	Leaves Tillandsia rely solely on their leaves to absorb rain, draw in moisture and nutrients from the air and allow for photosynthesis to produce food for the plant. Leaf colors and textures vary from few to many, wide to thin, silvery, white, lime green, dark green to almost black. Leaves can be ridged, stiff, brittle, soft, flexible, succulent, smooth and curly. Some have microscopic, less pronounced trichomes (Mesic) while others have fuzzy, white, enlarged highly visible trichomes (Xeric). Leaves surrounding an inflorescence may “blush” or turn bright red, pink, orange, peach or yellow as blooming season arrives. In some Tillandsia (T. Brachycaulos, T. Fuego, T. Victoriana) the majority of the plant turns intense red/pink. The blush usually subsidies back to green after flowering.	Flower When it comes time to flower, from the center of the plant develops the inflorescence, the stem or spike reproductive portion of the tillandsia, from which the flowers emerge from the bract. Later if successfully pollinated a green seed pod will form from the base of the flower. The duration of the blooms varies among plants. Typically, the stem or inflorescence emerges with a colorful bract. Then the flowers bloom from the bract. The flowers expire, then some time after the inflorescence spike dries and browns and expires, as well. At this time if pollination has not occurred or the formation of a seed pod is not desired, the entire spike may be removed from between the leaves with a clean set of scissors.	Pups After flowering, Tillandsia enter the next phase of life: producing seeds, pupping or both. Depending on variety, Tillandsia can form pups at the base of the plant, from the inflorescence or along the stem. After some time of facilitating seed formation and nourishing the process of pup development and growth, the parent plant will wither giving way to those pups to start the cycle again. With good care, the parent plants health does not typically decline until pups are mature enough for survival on their own. Some varieties of Tillandsia will form a clump with passing time of this continued cycle. They can remain as a clump or the pups may be separated individually once they become 1/3 or better of the mature size.

Tillandsia Quick Tips

Air plants love sunlight and will do best positioned near a window if indoors.
Air plants grow great outdoors as long as temperatures don't drop below 55°F.
When soaking your air plants, soak upside down and keep the bottom above water if possible.
Gently shake out your air plant to remove excess water and place upside down to fully dry.
Ensure your air plant has good air circulation in the location you decide to keep them.


Displaying your Tillandsia One of the advantages of having air plants is their versatility. You can display your air plants on cork bark, in glass terrariums, alongside crystals, in table top pots, shell containers, suspended planters, wall mounts, wood mounts and so much more. Use fishing line, wire, glue, twine or yarn to affix your plants. Use pebbles, rocks, seashells or moss as decorative substrates. Some species of air plants will branch their pups, creating their own display. It is important to make sure your air plants can receive plenty of good air circulation and sunlight. With how versatile air plants are you can definitely let your creativity run wild! The design possibilities are infinite!	Watering & Fertilization To promote growth, color and blooms, we recommend fertilizing your Air Plants with our ready-to-use Air Plant Food 1-2 times per week during regular watering. As a general rule, a plant in a hot position will require watering every 2-3 days. In a darker, more humid environment, watering once per week can often be adequate. This can be achieved by misting or soaking the plant. If outdoors, a hose can be used. When soaking a plant, leave submerged in a bowl of water for 10-20 minutes before shaking off excess water (do not submerge flowers). Air plants need to dry out completely between each watering and must never have water sitting at their base as this will cause the plant to rot.	Gift Options for All Occasions Whether you are crafting a personalized gift or providing the medium for someone else to get creative with, air plants are an excellent gift choice for so many different occasions! Air plant gifts are ideal for Holidays, birthdays, housewarmings. Teachers, employees, co-workers and college students love them too!

Wonderful Little Book

Format: Paperback

I actually really love this book. It's short and to the point which takes away a little bit of the theological clutter that you can find in a text book which does limit its content. However, the few points it addresses, lovingly points out incredible truth that we need to hear when helping others, and provides stories which demonstrates his point. The most important passage, in my opinion is, "Ministry 'unbalances' truth for the sake of relevance; theology 'rebalances' truth for the sake of comprehensiveness." (pg.33) Sometimes we want to help people with phrases like, "the lord gives and the lord takes away" or "rejoice always" which is a true fact but could be a dagger in the heart of someone who just lost a wife/husband/child and is breaking down. Either of those statements could calm someone with grief but could also cause anger and bitterness. Some truth can provide immense hope to those in need, but not all truths will help each person the same way and they might respond poorly in a situation of pain. We do a disservice when we assume that all people need the same answers in the same way.

Solid and Helpful but left me wishing for a little more

Format: Paperback

I loved the first 8 chapters - the last three fizzled out for me. It makes me wonder if even the first eight chapters could've been abridged and the whole thing reduced to a pithy booklet. That being said, the first eight chapters contain some excellent material that I will be incorporating not only into my own life, but into my toolbox of material to use in helping others. The best material for me was in: > Ch. 6, "What Changes You?" - He has a simple, practical grid of the basic "Five Factors of Sanctification." - Foundationally, God changes you. - Secondly, The Word of Truth changes you. - Third, Wise People change you. - Fourth, Suffering and Struggling changes you. - Finally, You change. "Constructive change occurs through the interplay of these five factors: God, Scripture, other People, Life Circumstances, and the Human Heart." "Foolishness either overcomplicates or oversimplifies." > Ch. 2, "Is there One Key to Sanctification?" This is his great critique of the idea that there's a master-key to the Christian life, some fool-proof, secret principle that changes everything for everyone. We tend to think that the thing that revolutionizes everything for me, must be "the key" for everyone. But we're too complex and the Word and life is too diverse for there to be one master key solution. "Theological fads and fashions come and go" - but part of the counsel of God was never intended to give us the benefits of "the whole counsel of God." New days come and new challenges arise, and we have to keep on pressing on. Our variety of needs and the varieties of helps necessarily defy "reductionism." There is no single key. "Progressive sanctification is about how we live in between God's laying the cornerstone and setting the capstone." > Ch. 3, "Truth Unbalanced and Rebalancing" - If I might reword David's principle, slightly, In ministry, we over-emphasize one aspect of truth for the sake of application. In David's words, "Ministry unbalances truth for the sake of relevance; theology rebalances truth for the sake of comprehensiveness." We can only say one thing at a time and a person, practically, can only work on one thing at a time. So we make much of a single thing, and then always try to bring it back into alignment with the whole of life and the whole counsel of God. "You do not build a house with only one tool in your toolbox when God gives you a truckload of tools. But you use your tools one at a time, the right tool for the right job." "In the long run, a single truth harped on will disappoint even its devotees." > 5. "We Are Sanctified By Remembering Our Justification." Throughout the book, David Powlison has been coming back to the concrete, recent example of a sanctification key, advocated by many: Remember the past grace of justification; Repreach the gospel to yourself every day; Realize that you are accepted by God because of the merits of Christ, not your own. In this chapter he highlights that this is certainly one of the tools in our toolbox - sometimes this is the very thing we need for progress in sanctification. But it is but one part of a larger whole. A greater point to always have in mind is that God is for us: He was, is, still is, and always will be for us. Don't just look to past grace, but also to present grace and future grace, as well as many other useful motivations. David's personal testimonies in chapters 7 and 8 are rich. He weaves in the interplay of the five agents of change. Very good. "There is a reason that 'Don't be afraid" (in all its variants) is the most common command in all of Scripture." There is also a beautiful section in the last chapter describing the contrast between the peace of the believer exemplified in a text like Psalm 23, and the "anti-psalm" emptiness of the unbeliever whose life ends at the end of the valley of the shadow of death. Very good, but a bit disappointing to me. Powlison is true physician of the soul. When he speaks I want to listen. I would recommend Kevin DeYoung's, "The Hole in Our Holiness: Filling the Gap between Gospel Passion and the Pursuit of Godliness" as an additional and very satisfying book on this subject.

God Works to Deepen Faith and Enlarge Love

Format: Paperback

What a great little book! I hope you will pick up a copy, read it, and reread it. Don't be put off by its brevity (123 pages including end notes and indices). There is depth here. Powlison rejects a "one-size-fits-all" understanding of sanctification, calling for "multiple mundane examples" of Christian growth--calling, in short, for stories of real people in real circumstances, people in and through whom God works in a great variety of ways to deepen faith (vertical transformation) and enlarge love (horizontal transformation). There are several great "take aways" in this book: seven implications of the cross of Christ, five cooperating elements of sanctification, three features of the stories people tell when they describe how God works in their lives to bring about change, and, on top of that, three great stories of growth in grace. I highly recommend David Powlison's How Does Sanctification Work? It won't take you long to read, and it will repay the time you invest with multiple dividends.

Loving Self and Others Well as We Grow

Format: Kindle

This is an excellent discussion of how we ourselves change/mature and how we can love others well on their unique journey. And unique is stressed here - he's a counselor and well knows that people are unique and deserve and require unique counsel. We all receive love differently, in the specific moment and in the specific stage of life and circumstance. His theology is sound and his writing is oh so very clear and beautiful. I almost weep with joy at some of his deep reflections. His "own story" chapters are very insightful as samples of how he and we move from a place we don't want to be (unloving and selfish) to where we can be (loving other well). It's less of a checklist of how to do this than an observation of what's happened in his life and others. It can give a teachable heart a boost of self-compassion and compassion for others.
