Tillandsia butzii is a member of the Tillandsia subgenus, named after a German botanist whose full story remains a mystery. This airplant  has earned the title of "strangest looking Tillandsia" for its uniquely captivating appearance.

Key features:

  • Found in open habitats from southern Mexico to Panama at elevations of 1,000-2,300 meters
  • Distinctive inflated pseudobulb base speckled with dark brown and green
  • Filiform-attenuate, subulate leaves that range from wavy to severely contorted
  • Erect, slender scape with a striking carmine inflorescence

The image showcases T. butzii in all its bizarre glory. The plant's most striking feature is its collection of thin, serpentine leaves that twist and curl in seemingly random directions. These filiform leaves emerge from a bulbous base, creating a surreal, almost alien-like appearance. The leaves' coloration ranges from greenish-brown to reddish-purple, adding to the plant's otherworldly charm.

Collector's note: T. butzii is a polarizing species that people tend to either love or strongly dislike, making it a true conversation piece. Its unique form challenges traditional notions of plant aesthetics, evoking emotional responses from observers.

Care tips: This species requires a delicate balance of moisture. While it needs frequent watering, excess water trapped in the pseudobulb can lead to rot. Growing it in an upside-down position can help mitigate this risk. It thrives in humid, well-ventilated environments with medium to bright indirect light.

Ideal for:

  • Collectors seeking unusual and visually striking Tillandsias
  • Botanical artists looking for unique subjects
  • Enthusiasts of plants with peculiar adaptations
  • Growers who enjoy a horticultural challenge

Display recommendation: Mount T. butzii on a piece of driftwood or in a hanging glass globe, positioning it upside-down to showcase its strange form and prevent water accumulation. This placement will allow its twisting leaves to cascade dramatically, creating a living sculpture.

Embrace the enigmatic allure of T. butzii - a testament to nature's endless creativity. Whether it captivates or perplexes you, this airplant is sure to be a standout in any collection, challenging perceptions and sparking curiosity with its otherworldly presence.

Just basted together
Color: Orange, Size: 30, Color: Orange, Size: 30
At first, I was super excited and thought it was a fantastic deal. I bought this suit for a work event, and got it a few days early. I tried it on, everything fit well, I loved the fabric, nothing was tight at all but neither was it loose. Then, I wear it to work. I even took a picture before heading off to work, where everything was still perfectly out together and no issues were visible. And then I sit down at work to eat my breakfast, and notice that stitching RIGHT OVER MY CROTCH had come loose and made a hole. Not popped, the stitching was not broken or anything, but just unraveled. Nothing was tight, and sitting down and walking felt normal so I know I didn’t strain the fabric at all. The stitches were just loose, and the thread was all over the place. Luckily I don’t think anyone saw, I was able to keep my legs crossed or cover the problem area strategically with my water jug or bag. But my house is an hour’s drive away from my work, so I couldn’t just go back and change. I had to borrow a stapler and STAPLE THE HOLE SHUT. Yes, lesson learned, I bought several emergency sewing kits that I will stuff in everything I carry with me everywhere in case something like this happens again, but still. It was BRAND NEW. Not only that, but as I was in the restroom stapling my new suit pants back together, I found the issue. The crotch area was just basted together, no backstitch or proper finishing at all. And it continues down the leg, I had to be careful not to bend my legs too much or those seams would also unravel. They already loosened a little bit and risked showing my skin underneath just by walking. I managed to play it off and keep my body posed in such a way that it was unnoticeable, especially with help of the staples, but still! Super embarrassing, especially since I’m in a large training class right now and everyone found out just because I had to ask everyone if they had a sewing kit on them. I was so ready to chock this up as a win, too. Good thing I postponed my review. Sloppy sewing all around really, once I took a moment after getting home to look closer. Some areas are sewn well and finished properly, but others are still only basted shut or the end of the thread wasn’t anchored at all. I’m going to spend a lot of time re-doing the stitches, because I’m too stubborn to send the piece back and I know how to sew better than whatever machine made this anyway so I don’t wanna waste the fabric. Such a disappointment.

I can’t believe the quality for the money
Color: Hot Pink, Size: 38
I am a suit designer for a better priced menswear brand. I bought this suit for a “day-glo” party, so the expectation was going to be one wearing to a party. I wasn’t expecting much for the money, but the color filled the bill. When I received it, I couldn’t believe how great the construction and quality were. The jacket is fully lined, contrast interior piping, interior double welt pockets on both sides, and the fit was really exceptional. The pant had fully taped interior seams, pick stitched curtained waistband, split back seam (so you can easily gave it altered if you need), interior front closure button and tab, hook and eye and exterior button. Note: no one mentioned this, but the waistband is discretely adjustable like a rental tux, so enables fit for a wider range of sizes. The jacket runs true to size, but the pants have some flexibility and are easily altered, so buy your jacket size… that would be harder to alter. The only gripe is the buttons are super cheap looking, and white colored (surprised they weren’t dyed to match, given the rest of the quality).. I’ll be changing them out.

Tight Waist - No Stretch or Elastic
Color: Dark Green, Size: 30
Jacket fits pretty great, but the pants have zero stretch at all in the waist since there’s no elastic. The pants also fit pretty high waisted so you do get a fold across the front near the pocket/groin area due to the longer inseam. For the price it’s a good deal, but I have ordered this brand with an elastic waist in the same size and it makes a huge difference in the fit and look. For a little more money, I highly recommend their other suits with the elastic waist band!

Very stylish & tailored fit
Size: Small, Color: Pink
My husband purchased this suit as a “flower-bro” at my sister’s wedding. Unfortunately the color theme for the wedding was changed so he had to change it out which I was sad about because it fit him very well and looked great! The quality was good and the fit looked tailored.
