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!

My dog loves these toys.
Size: Mini, Color: Gator (Pink)
Not a huge toy, nor is my dog. But we have lots of goDog toys. Practically indestructible and my dog likes to carry these in his mouth and bring them onto the foot of our bed. Brilliant colors and good squeaker but my dog is afraid of the squeak. Fair value for cost.

Our XL dogs love this! Highly recommend them! Highly recommend. Not for aggressive chewers but our big dogs don't destroy their toys. They cherish them. Great for play and cuddling. Not to loud either. Very cute.

When they said strong...
...they weren't kidding. Our pup would chew through everything she could get her sharks teeth into. Like my arms. Nothing lasted as long as a week or maybe two. But she has had Dino for months now. She loves him. He is the go to toy for when she wants to play tug. The material used to make this toy is every bit as strong as the seller claims. I will definitely buy from them again. And I will not wait for this one to rip. I may be waiting a long time. If your pup likes to tear stuff apart, feel safe in buying this toy, UPDATE: 2/9/2023 Dino finally succumbed to the torture. His back ripped open and despite trying to repair him with ordinary thread he couldn't withstand the pressure, His stuffing was removed and spread all over the living room. Completely emptied he is still a good toy. Strong enough to withstand the forceful play of tug-o-war. Only thing I would suggest is to use something stronger when closing his back. The rest of him is great. I will be replacing him soon.

Not so tough
Size: Mini, Color: Gator (Pink)
I bought this because I dog sit. The dog chews up every. Single. Toy. So I bought it since it was cheap and it can be in the “chunk” (the dog’s name) toy box. It is not durable at all. He tore it up just as fast as a cheaply made toy. Chunk LOVES it! He would not stop playing with it. He loves the squeakers, it is a perfect size for him to throw it up in the air and chase it, and he loved ripping the legs off. It is good for my husband and I because there is little to no fluff. However, it is the perfect size to drop behind the couch and not be able to get. So once he drops it behind the couch, he won’t get it until morning. Now for my dog’s rating. My dog loves this toy too. He is much more gentle with toys (he has $5 Walmart toys we bought him back in 2020 in perfect condition that he plays with them every day). Before Chunk came over for the weekend, my dog Ted played with this. Ted is a larger small dog and chunk is a smaller small dog. And it is still the perfect size for both dogs.

Tough
Size: Large, Color: Dinos Frills (Pink)
Tough dog toy that's held up through multiple washes! My dogs love the squeaker. They are not destructive chewers so I can't really say how it would hold up with that kind of dog though.
