*Air plant only, cholla pot sold separately

Tillandsia albida minor is fast becoming extinct in its natural habitat in Mexico. Belonging to the Bromeliaceae family, the caulescent plant exhibits stem-like growth. The leaves form a rosette though they are rigid. The silver-colored leaves spiral around the stem. This slow-growing air plant bears crimson-colored inflorescence with cream-colored flowers. Since it is xeric, it loves bright, intense light but not direct. It also prefers good airflow around. The winter dormant air plant exhibits good growth when hung upside down. The Tillandsia albida minor grows to a height of about 15 cm.

Growth Rate

Tillandsia albida minor grows at a slow pace.


Flowering

The plant can flower at any time. Each rosette develops one spiked red-colored inflorescence that bears cream flowers. 


Watering and Feeding

The almost extinct species in its natural habitat can be cultivated well by misting the plant two to three times a week. Alternatively, the plant can be submerged in a big bowl filled with tap or rainwater for half an hour. At any cost, this air plant should be dried well, or else it can rot to death. 

Soil

Being an air plant, the Tillandsia albida minor attaches to solid substrata like wood, wires, etc., for growth. It takes its nutrients from the air.


Hardiness 

The hardiness zones of Albida minor are 9 to 11. It is frost sensitive and cannot withstand temperatures less than 30° to 40°F (-1.1° to 4.4°C).


Light

Albida minor loves a bright sunny environment. Ensure that the light is not direct as it prefers filtered sunlight. 


Propagation

Offsets and pups at the base of the plant are best for propagation.


Hung upside down, the Tillandsia albida minor is a show-stopper all the way through. Pick a healthy air plant from Planet Desert and stop the Albida from getting extinct.

Nice flexible silicone wire
Size: 14 gauge silicone wire 10ft and 10ft, Color: silicone wire red and black
I purchased to replace the main power cable for an Ender 3 3D printer. The original cables were the same type but had a cheap connector Midway through to allow the power supply to be removed if needed. THOSE NYLON connectors overheated, smelled and turned black. The BNTECHGO 14 Gauge Silicone Wire were a perfect replacement. No more connector and no more heat issues.

This has worked well over the last few years. Used moslty on battery leads for quadcopters. The wire and insulation has held up well, is good quality, solders fine. I have since used other BNTECHGO silicone wire as well, and not been dissapointed.

Great for re-wiring a 12/24v DC PSU for a 3D Printer
Size: 14 gauge silicone wire 10ft and 10ft, Color: silicone wire red and black
I'm familiar with this wire as it was just coming to market as I was fading out of the RC hobby back in ... well the 90's? When I got a roughly cared for and damaged CR-10 for cheap, I decided to remodel it and place the guts and gear under the frame. This wire is thick enough to wire the power plug, MOSFett, and main board with no concern for the 30 A amperage it could draw. It crimped easily, stripped cleanly and is super supple. I paired this with a 7 color pack to re-wire things to arrange plugs where I needed them to be. It's good wire and I may even use some when I dig out my old RC-10 graphite or Bo-Link fiberglass chassis...
