Tillandsia Double Ruth

Tillandsia ‘Doble Ruth’

The Tillandsia ‘Doble Ruth’ is an attractive ornamental hybrid belonging to the Bromeliaceae family, highly valued for its compact growth, good coloration, and ability to form dense clumps. It is an air plant ideal for both collectors and simple cultivation.

The Tillandsia Doble Ruth is a hybrid native to California, USA.

It is formed by the combination of Tillandsia Magnusiana and Tillandsia Compressa.

This hybrid is related to the well-known Tillandsia ‘Ruth’, and therefore inherits characteristics of compact species of the Ionantha group and related plants, standing out for its small size, resistance, and ease of reproduction.

The name ‘Doble Ruth’ usually refers to a denser form or one with a tendency to produce multiple centers or offsets, creating more compact and voluminous structures.

The Tillandsia ‘Doble Ruth’ develops small, compact rosettes of short, firm, and slightly arched leaves, gray-green in color, which can transform into reddish or orange tones with good lighting or during flowering.

Its growth is fast and it produces offsets very easily, forming dense clumps in a short time.

During the flowering season, generally in spring or summer, its inflorescence produces a floral "feather" with red bracts, with violet tubular flowers, accompanied by intense coloration in the plant.

Thanks to its size, coloration, and ease of multiplication, the Tillandsia ‘Doble Ruth’ is ideal for collections, open terrariums, decoration in bright interiors, or compositions with small tillandsias, making it very versatile.
