DESCRIPTION:  These Butzii clumps are rarely offered but they are very sought after. We recommend keeping them on the hanging wire they come with; this way you can see the clump grow over time. It will easily double in size in the next few years.

These clumps are several years old so there will be some brown or dry areas in the middle of the clump, but it will not be significant enough to negatively affect the overall beauty of the plant.

Butzii can be found in the wild from Southern Mexico down to Panama. It grows in a clumping form at elevations up to 2,300 meters. This species was described by Carl Christian Mez in 1935. Tillandsia Butzii is another one of the more "wild" looking air plants. It is very similar in form to Bulbosa and Caput Medusae, but Butzii stands out from the others for its elongated, wispy leaves. Butzii produces a beautiful purple flower when in bloom, but typically stays a deep green color year round. Butzii have less trichomes than other air plants, thus requiring more humidity and less light than others.
