Tillandsia butzii is a member of the Tillandsia subgenus, named after a German botanist whose full story remains a mystery. This airplant  has earned the title of "strangest looking Tillandsia" for its uniquely captivating appearance.

Key features:

  • Found in open habitats from southern Mexico to Panama at elevations of 1,000-2,300 meters
  • Distinctive inflated pseudobulb base speckled with dark brown and green
  • Filiform-attenuate, subulate leaves that range from wavy to severely contorted
  • Erect, slender scape with a striking carmine inflorescence

The image showcases T. butzii in all its bizarre glory. The plant's most striking feature is its collection of thin, serpentine leaves that twist and curl in seemingly random directions. These filiform leaves emerge from a bulbous base, creating a surreal, almost alien-like appearance. The leaves' coloration ranges from greenish-brown to reddish-purple, adding to the plant's otherworldly charm.

Collector's note: T. butzii is a polarizing species that people tend to either love or strongly dislike, making it a true conversation piece. Its unique form challenges traditional notions of plant aesthetics, evoking emotional responses from observers.

Care tips: This species requires a delicate balance of moisture. While it needs frequent watering, excess water trapped in the pseudobulb can lead to rot. Growing it in an upside-down position can help mitigate this risk. It thrives in humid, well-ventilated environments with medium to bright indirect light.

Ideal for:

  • Collectors seeking unusual and visually striking Tillandsias
  • Botanical artists looking for unique subjects
  • Enthusiasts of plants with peculiar adaptations
  • Growers who enjoy a horticultural challenge

Display recommendation: Mount T. butzii on a piece of driftwood or in a hanging glass globe, positioning it upside-down to showcase its strange form and prevent water accumulation. This placement will allow its twisting leaves to cascade dramatically, creating a living sculpture.

Embrace the enigmatic allure of T. butzii - a testament to nature's endless creativity. Whether it captivates or perplexes you, this airplant is sure to be a standout in any collection, challenging perceptions and sparking curiosity with its otherworldly presence.

Just ok
These are just simply too large to use as chapstick unless you do both top and bottom at the same time ( no thank you). I threw them away. 3 stars because it appears to be a good product, but they got the packaging all wrong to call it chap stick.

Replaced Vaseline - Far superior product
I received this as a gift a few months ago and it's all I use now. I use it on my lips and on my neck wrinkles. Do not leave it in a warm environment, like hot car or pants pockets, it will get very soft. If it does get soft, i just dab it on ranther than rolling/wiping on. Also its best to roll it down when not in use, but not necessary. I used to be addicted to Vaseline products for my lips and this is far superior in many ways.

Not really good as a lip balm
It is way too melty or liquidy when applying. It's like putting oil on your lips. No staying power. I actually ended using it more as a skin moisturizer like a lotion. It's pretty good for that. I haven't even tried taking it with me in my pocket as I think it'll turn to a liquid like coconut oil down here in sunny hot Florida. .

Best lip balm I have ever used.
By far the best lip balm you will ever buy. When I say I am addicted to Chapstick/lip balm it's an understatement. I don't just have one kind, in one place. I have multiple kinds (you never know what you're feeling or need) in every place! Like my cars chapstick has a chapstick family. I have been trying to pay attention to ingredients lately and realize how many awful chemicals are in most of the products I use. So...here we are, woke up after sleeping with a fan in my face and my lip was dry and cracked straight down the middle. Something so stupid caused so much discomfort I started immediately trying all the different brands, oils, balms, etc. Some burned, some made it worse, some did nothing. Two days of this nonsense and I decided to try this product. It was delivered the next day thank goodness because I was becoming so annoyed with the pain from a small cut. I instantly put the product on and my lip felt so much better. It lasts a very long time so it isn't drying back out and it isn't painful to reapply when needed. It's been less than 24 hours and my lip is almost better. I even slept with the fan on. This balm is amazing, made in the USA, comes in a huge tube unlike the other brands, costs is amazingly low, and it has no nasty smell at all! The only complaint I have would be my concern for my addiction to carry one in my pocket and due to the ingredients it will probably melt some but I will worry about that when I need to. Seriously, this stuff is so amazing I had to write this review. I don't know these people and I sure didn't get it for free. I will be purchasing more from them and sharing what a quality product it is. Just get it.
