Tillandsia duratii

Tillandsia duratii is 1 of must collect item, because it can grow big (that's why, some grower don't want it to flower, and want it become big size monster), tolerance with direct sun. The most important is, they use their leaf to climb!!!!

New leaf will facing upward, after sometime, its leaf will slowly bend down, once the leaf is block by something, it will hold it and use it as support to climb up.

I wish my Tillandsia duratii grow to tall and straight as shown in below link
