Tillandsia Holm's Durascens

Tillandsia ‘Holm’s Durascens’

The Tillandsia ‘Holm’s Durascens’ is an interesting ornamental hybrid belonging to the Bromeliaceae family, created in Germany by combining Tillandsia Dura with Tillandsia Caulescens. It is highly valued for its great resistance, compact habit, and ease of cultivation. It is an air plant ideal for beginners and collectors.

This magnificent hybrid inherits the lushness of the Tillandsia Dura as well as the size and incredible inflorescence of the Tillandsia Caulescens.

This hybrid is part of the creations associated with Bob Holm, known for developing tillandsias with excellent adaptability, vigor, and stability in cultivation.

The Tillandsia ‘Holm’s Durascens’ develops compact to semi-open rosettes, with firm leaves that are somewhat more rigid than other similar hybrids and slightly arched, ranging from green to grayish-green, providing a robust appearance.

Its growth is moderate to fast and it produces pups easily, forming dense and decorative clumps over time.

During the flowering season, generally in spring or summer, it develops an inflorescence with pink-toned bracts and tubular violet flowers, with slight variations depending on the clone.

Thanks to its resistance and structure, the Tillandsia ‘Holm’s Durascens’ is ideal for decorating with air plants, vertical gardens, collections, or mounted on wood and cork, making it a very reliable choice.
