Tillandsia Kurt-Horstii

The Tillandsia Kurt-Horstii is a very rare species native to Brazil, where it grows and develops at latitudes above 1000 meters in altitude. It is a highly prized plant for its elegant bearing, its woolly appearance and its great ornamental value.

This species has many similarities to Tillandsia tectorum and Tillandsia streptocarpa. It produces triangular, thin, and elongated medium-sized leaves, highly scaly, creating a type of hairy wool on its upper part.
