I’ve been on the lookout for one of these for a while but finally picked one up. It seems to have had a rough past with some leaf damage and dried tips to the bracts but it hasn’t flowered yet and has a decently sized pup growing so I’m hopeful that I can have this thing do well for me in the long run.
T. cyanea
So should I be keeping this more like my Vriesea hybrids or my other Tillandsias?

I am not certain on maintenance, but that photo has a gorgeous flower. Actually, I just learned that most of that color are bracts..not the flower. Ahh, so much yet to learn. Matti
I'll post some pictures of the flowers when they come but the best thing about these are the bracts. Very colourful and they last a long time too.
Definitely treat it more like vriesias and other terrestrial bromeliads than epiphytic tillandsias. On the other hand, we treat them all pretty much the same anyway.
