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!

It won't last if your dog chews.
Size: 9 inches - Plush Gumby, Size: 9 inches - Plush Gumby
My dog loves these things BUT: The first one lasted 2 days. The stitching along the leg looked a little loose before I gave it to our dog. So I watched her very closely. She went up to see my roommate with it and thank goodness he was watching closely as well because it was then that she ripped the entire thing open and the squeaking ball came out. The problem with the ball is that it is so small- it would be easy for a dog to choke on. I do have to give the seller some credit because they sent another one when I explained that the stiches were loose. I did not have to mail the first one back. The second picture is the second one that they sent. It lasted less than 10 minutes. I DO NOT recommend getting it replaced after you have a "failure"(especially if you don't know how to sew)!!! Why? Because when the second one was in my dog's grasp she had already figured out that the seems were... her target for destruction... She held the legs with her front paws, grabbed the head with her mouth and just started pulling like crazy until- yes. A seem opened again. What started as a small opening in the seem quickly turned into a bigger one. This probably sounds crazy, but we have very smart dog... She was seriously concentrating on the same seem- biting the same area and pulling with her head over and over until the hole became big enough to get stuffing through it. It may be a mistake- we will find out... But I am thinking about sewing the second one back together and reinforce every seem with a "second" seem using some very strong thread. I figure I would rather waste 20 cents or so on the thread to try to fix it, then buy another dog toy from this "brand". When I do this I will also pull ALL of the stuffing out so if it does rip open again, she won't be able to eat any of it. The stuffing looks synthetic and it is low quality- I don't trust it as far as toxicity... All this being said= if there were two layers of fabric with the inside layer being a stronger material, it would make the seems harder to pull apart. The way it is now you have this weak (albeit soft) fabric so when they sew it together the tiny holes left by the needle make the fabric in the seem area easier to tear. This, along with the thread itself being weak and easy to "snap", means that you should only expect it to last more than a day if your dog does not chew anything at all that is not food. 5 starts for the seller though...

Handy size, plush toy with squeaker, great price.
Size: 9 inches - Plush Gumby
Cute Gumby stuffed toy. Bought for my soft-mouthed small dog who enjoys carrying his 'lovey' around in his mouth and jumping onto the bed with it. He is not overly fond of loud squeakers and this squeaker is not loud. I truly find it a bit hard to locate the squeaker but that is a plus for us. This small toy is a bit larger than expected but my dog can manage it. Stuffing is firmer, a good quality toy. I definitely would not give it to an aggressive chewers because half of my past dogs have been small high energy dogs able to destroy a tough toy in a day and no one wants a sick dog or ER visit. But playability is excellent for my gentle and mild mannered 14lb dog.
