Discover Tillandsia usneoides 'El Mejor', a rare and distinguished variant that elevates the classic Spanish moss to new heights.

Size: 15 Inch Clump

Origin: A unique cultivar of the widely distributed Spanish moss
Distinctive traits: Notably thicker strands with a fuller, more luxuriant appearance
Availability: Rare and highly prized by discerning collectors

Key features:

  • Enhanced form: Thicker strands create a more substantial, lush cascade
  • Luxurious texture: Offers a richer, more voluminous look than typical Spanish moss
  • Adaptable size: Available in small and large clumps to suit various display needs
  • Conversation piece: Its unusual thickness makes it a standout in any Tillandsia collection
  • Rare cultivar: Named 'El Mejor' (Spanish for "the best"), living up to its superior qualities

Appearance: 'El Mejor' forms impressive cascades of silvery-green strands that are noticeably thicker than typical Spanish moss. This increased girth gives it a fuller, more opulent appearance, creating a lush, waterfall-like effect when suspended. The thicker strands intertwine to form a denser, more substantial mass, enhancing its visual impact and presence.

Collector's Note: This cultivar represents the pinnacle of Spanish moss variations, offering a perfect balance of the classic cascading form with enhanced volume and texture. Its rarity and superior aesthetics make it a must-have for serious Tillandsia enthusiasts looking to add a touch of luxury to their collections.

Care tip: Provide bright, indirect light to maintain its vigorous growth. Due to its thicker form, 'El Mejor' may retain more moisture than typical Spanish moss. Water 2-3 times a week by misting thoroughly or soaking, ensuring the plant dries completely within 4-6 hours. Good air circulation remains crucial for this species to prevent moisture-related issues.

Ideal for:

  • Collectors seeking premium, rare variants of classic Tillandsia species
  • Those who appreciate plants with a more substantial, luxurious appearance
  • Enthusiasts looking to create dramatic, eye-catching displays
  • Designers wanting to add a touch of opulence to airplant arrangements

Display recommendation: The lush form of 'El Mejor' makes it perfect for showcase displays. Consider draping it over branches, creating hanging curtains, or cascading it from elevated planters to highlight its impressive volume. Its fuller texture also makes it an excellent standalone piece or a striking backdrop for smaller, more intricate Tillandsia species.

Elevate your collection with Tillandsia usneoides 'El Mejor'. Experience the joy of nurturing this rare Spanish moss variant, watching as it grows into a magnificent cascade of living silver, bringing a touch of botanical luxury and unmatched elegance to your airplant display.

Our German Sheppard loves these
Size: Medium
These cost a bit more than tennis balls, but they are so much nicer and longer lasting. For starters, they stay cleaner than tennis balls because they’re smooth rubber. Dirt won’t build up on them and if anything does stick, like grass or soil, it falls off once the dog slobber dries. They’re also thick, so they don’t fall apart or blow out like a normal tennis ball does in our dog’s jaws after 30 seconds. Our GS chomps on these like crazy and the only damage they’ve suffered is a crack that developed from the edge of the hole, but the crack is growing very slowly and none of these balls have totally failed yet. The balls do whistle when thrown ant high speed and that may help a dog track and locate it, but I’m not sure. Our neighbors hear the whistling too so it’s far from silent. Lastly the orange ball is easy to locate out in our yard, but the dark blue practically disappears.

Great for smaller dogs
Size: Small
These two balls are perfect for the smaller mouthed dog that loves to play fetch. These balls are not only super durable (lots of teeth biting), but float in the baby pool we use for our miniature dachshunds. The value here is much better than you’d find anywhere else. The noise, if bitten hard enough, was “low” at best. Easy to spot/find if overthrown. Will definitely buy again once these are in bad repair; so far, so good-love these for my fur babies!

My dogs favorite balls
Size: Medium
These are great for my dog who always has to have a ball in her mouth. Not too hard so I don't have to worry about her teeth. They last for ever. They do lose their shape a little over time (like I said, she always has a ball in her mouth) they become a little oval in shape. They still bounce, she still chases it and she still chews on it so I don't think she notices or cares. I've gotten her a bag full of these over time and I have only seen one that she chewed a chunk out.

My Dachshunds Love These
Size: Small
These balls are durable, flexible material, highly chewable without being easily destroyed. I stuff them with Milkbone Maro Snacks, which are just the right size to twist into the holes in the ball. My dogs literally get an hour+ chewing and chasing entertainment from these. They chew them, they sometimes 'pop' out of their mouths, go rolling across the floor, dogs chasing them. This satisfies their urge to hunt prey. Dachshunds can easily tear this kind of stuff-it-toy apart. These have lasted for a long time without tearing or shredding. I would NOT recommend them for a dog much larger than a tweenie weenie. They're a bit on the small side and might be swallowed by a larger dog. It would be cool it they also came in a larger size (and probably ball wall thickness also) for the bigger dogs to enjoy. These stuff-it chew balls are better than the kong balls my dogs had before these. Highly recommend them.

My puppy’s favorite fetch toy!
Size: Small
Update Aug 27, 2024: After 10 months, these are still his favorite ball. He’s obsessed with fetching and plays with them all day. They do bounce really high. Unfortunately, the small size aren’t available for sale anywhere anymore. I tried the medium size, and he has a bit of trouble hanging on to them, but he manages. Weirdly, he prefers the orange one, but he also plays with the blue one. My 7 month old Shih Tzu puppy loves to fetch, and these are his new favorites. They’re small enough to fit in his mouth, and they are made of hard plastic, so he’s able to hold on to them. They have a lot of bounce, and this adds to the fun for him. I highly recommend them.
