Tillandsia cacticola Thin Leaf - a visually striking air plant native to the dry forests and rocky deserts of Peru. Its name reflects its natural habit of growing on cacti for support:

  • Foliage: Forms a rosette of soft, narrow, densely packed, silvery-white or gray-green leaves that are covered in tiny, moisture-absorbing scales called trichomes. Leaves are pliable and curve gracefully outward, often taking on a slightly recurved shape as they mature
  • Inflorescence: It produces a tall, showy spike with lilac-lavender bracts and delicate, cream-colored or violet-tinged tubular flowers that bloom over a long period 
  • Fragrance: While not overpowering like a garden flower, the blooms of Tillandsia cacticola are often described as having a clean, fresh, slightly sweet scent. It is most notable on warm mornings when the flowers are fully open. 

Key features:

  • In its native Peru, it is found growing vertically on the shaded sides of large columnar cacti. It rarely grows on rocks or trees, preferring the protection and drainage provided by cactus spines
  • Growth Pattern: The species has a slow, deliberate growth pattern. It tends to be a single, large specimen for a long time before producing pups. After blooming, it is prolific in pupping and the pups usually emerge from the base after the mother plant has peaked. It has a very short stem, meaning the leaves grow from a compact base, giving it a tidy, structured appearance. 
  • Size: At maturity, the plant typically reaches 20-25cm (8-10") in diameter. The plant body itself usually stays under 6 inches tall. A key identifier is that the flower spike is often taller than the foliage, extending 10-12" above the plant. 

 

 Size Inches (Diameter)
Large 6"-8"
X-Large 8"-10"
Specimen 10"+

 

Care tip: Caring for this plant is all about balancing its three main needs:light, water, and airflow. It is considered an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced collectors 

Ideal for: Beginners, gardeners with limited space, creative decorator, low-water plant collector, and pollinator enthusiasts

It works
Size: S
On my bottling buckets, two from different manufacturers, it clamps well and keeps the racking cane out of the sediment at the bottom. It beats running the beer through a tight mesh bag. Lots easier. Should have gotten a racking cane, and a clamp, earlier.

Works perfectly!
Size: S
This clamp works perfectly! Holds the siphon tube securely. When you buy one of these clamps, measure the inside siphon tube. Not the outside tube the inner tube slides in. This was a bit confusing, but I got the right one and I'm happy with it!

Works as intended.
Size: S
The fact that this holds the racking cane in place is fantastic. It is like having another set of hands However, I would have liked to see a version, or additional piece of hardware that could be used to keep the cane from moving around so much and to keep it tilted toward the direction the carboy is tilted. But nonetheless, the unit does what it is intended.

Small clip, big help
Size: S
I've been making wine for 3 years now. Due to a cramped work area I use about 20 carboys which makes for lots of siphoning each time I need to re-rack. This small clip has made the process so much less hassle. It clips nicely to the 3, 5 and 6 gallon glass carboys that I use. It's tight enough on the siphon tube to prevent slippage. Pro-tip: Once your siphon is started, slide the clip around the rim of the carboy to position it under the siphon hose. This will keep the siphon tube fairly straight up and down in the carboy. Otherwise, the weight and pressure of the hose will cause the tube to not be vertical and you'll miss a larger portion of your beverage in the re-rack than you would if the tube were perfectly vertical.
