Discover Tillandsia 'Little Shaver', a captivating hybrid airplant that combines delicate beauty with surprising vigor:

Parentage: Tillandsia paleacea × Tillandsia macbrideana
Distinctive traits: Silvery, fine-leaved rosette with vibrant purple blooms
Availability: Sought-after hybrid, especially when flowering

Key features:

  • Ethereal form: Compact rosette of thin, silvery leaves creating a soft, feathery appearance
  • Stunning blooms: Currently displaying vivid purple flowers, a rare treat for collectors
  • Compact size: Perfect for small spaces and versatile display options
  • Unique lineage: Combines the best traits of two xeric Tillandsia species
  • Low maintenance: Ideal for both novice and experienced airplant enthusiasts

Appearance: 'Little Shaver' forms a dense, silvery rosette of fine, needle-like leaves. The foliage creates a soft, almost fuzzy appearance due to the abundance of trichomes – tiny scales that give the plant its distinctive silvery sheen. Currently in bloom, this specimen boasts a striking inflorescence with vibrant purple petals emerging from reddish-purple bracts, creating a beautiful contrast against the pale foliage.

Collector's Note: 'Little Shaver' exemplifies the artistry of Tillandsia hybridization. It inherits the compact, silvery nature of T. paleacea combined with the more robust growth and flowering potential of T. macbrideana. This hybrid demonstrates how careful breeding can enhance the aesthetic appeal of xeric (dry-loving) Tillandsia while maintaining their hardiness.

Care tip: Provide bright, indirect light to maintain its silvery appearance and encourage blooming. Water sparingly, misting thoroughly once a week or soaking for 30 minutes every 10-14 days, ensuring the plant dries completely within 4 hours. Excellent air circulation is crucial for this xeric species.

Ideal for:

  • Collectors seeking Tillandsia with both beautiful foliage and impressive blooms
  • Those who appreciate plants with a delicate, ethereal appearance
  • Enthusiasts looking to add textural interest to their airplant displays
  • Designers creating desert-inspired or minimalist plant arrangements

Display recommendation: The compact, silvery form of 'Little Shaver' makes it perfect for small terrariums or mounted displays. Consider pairing it with dark-colored stones or driftwood to highlight its pale coloration. When in bloom, showcase it as a centerpiece to fully appreciate its vibrant flowers.

Add a touch of xeric elegance to your collection with Tillandsia 'Little Shaver'. Experience the joy of nurturing this delicate-looking yet resilient hybrid, and revel in the rare spectacle of its stunning purple blooms.

Used shoes
Size: 10 Little Kid, Color: Glitter Clear W/Strap, Size: 10 Little Kid, Color: Glitter Clear W/Strap
If I could give this zero stars, I absolutely would. I ordered these shoes expecting them to be brand new since I paid full price and never selected any “used” option. What I received instead were clearly heavily worn shoes there were visible signs of use that you simply wouldn’t expect from a new product.

Pricey but worth it
To say my daughter loves shoes would be an understatement and whenever you throw in a fun color and glitter to the mix, it only exponentially increases the love and excitement every time she puts on these shoes! The quality of the shoes are outstanding, they provide support in the right places and so far have been surprisingly durable (for a toddler that’s saying something)! This is the second pair of this shoe that I’ve purchased, the first was a pair of the clear glitter style. They are very cute shoes and the color matched the pictured on the website very well, which was great since I was trying to complete a “Princess Anna” look with a previously purchased dress. Note: I do suggest to size up one size, because in my experience they run a little small.
