Discover Tillandsia 'Little Shaver', a captivating hybrid airplant that combines delicate beauty with surprising vigor:

Parentage: Tillandsia paleacea × Tillandsia macbrideana
Distinctive traits: Silvery, fine-leaved rosette with vibrant purple blooms
Availability: Sought-after hybrid, especially when flowering

Key features:

  • Ethereal form: Compact rosette of thin, silvery leaves creating a soft, feathery appearance
  • Stunning blooms: Currently displaying vivid purple flowers, a rare treat for collectors
  • Compact size: Perfect for small spaces and versatile display options
  • Unique lineage: Combines the best traits of two xeric Tillandsia species
  • Low maintenance: Ideal for both novice and experienced airplant enthusiasts

Appearance: 'Little Shaver' forms a dense, silvery rosette of fine, needle-like leaves. The foliage creates a soft, almost fuzzy appearance due to the abundance of trichomes – tiny scales that give the plant its distinctive silvery sheen. Currently in bloom, this specimen boasts a striking inflorescence with vibrant purple petals emerging from reddish-purple bracts, creating a beautiful contrast against the pale foliage.

Collector's Note: 'Little Shaver' exemplifies the artistry of Tillandsia hybridization. It inherits the compact, silvery nature of T. paleacea combined with the more robust growth and flowering potential of T. macbrideana. This hybrid demonstrates how careful breeding can enhance the aesthetic appeal of xeric (dry-loving) Tillandsia while maintaining their hardiness.

Care tip: Provide bright, indirect light to maintain its silvery appearance and encourage blooming. Water sparingly, misting thoroughly once a week or soaking for 30 minutes every 10-14 days, ensuring the plant dries completely within 4 hours. Excellent air circulation is crucial for this xeric species.

Ideal for:

  • Collectors seeking Tillandsia with both beautiful foliage and impressive blooms
  • Those who appreciate plants with a delicate, ethereal appearance
  • Enthusiasts looking to add textural interest to their airplant displays
  • Designers creating desert-inspired or minimalist plant arrangements

Display recommendation: The compact, silvery form of 'Little Shaver' makes it perfect for small terrariums or mounted displays. Consider pairing it with dark-colored stones or driftwood to highlight its pale coloration. When in bloom, showcase it as a centerpiece to fully appreciate its vibrant flowers.

Add a touch of xeric elegance to your collection with Tillandsia 'Little Shaver'. Experience the joy of nurturing this delicate-looking yet resilient hybrid, and revel in the rare spectacle of its stunning purple blooms.

GREAT for older homes and demands of modern technology!
Color: White
This item is working out well for me. I am visiting my son and daughter-in-laws home that the electric outlets are not updated. So the two prong plus the outlets on the power work out very well. GREAT purchase!

This is exactly what was needed!!
Color: White
This is a nice unit. I got it as I have started traveling a bit. It is a headache to try to figure out where to plug everything in to get charges. Especially when you are staying at people's houses, I don't like bothering them. I can put this in my laptop bag and bring it along with all the cords that are still plugged in. I really like that it is two-prong plug and the cord swivels. It will work in any plug-in and location. It costs a bit more than some of the others, but I think it is worth the extra few dollars.

Great
Color: White
Great product. Fits perfectly in my house. Only reason I gave 4⭐️ is because the plug has been loosening out of the outlet and making my tv turn off. The only reason I believe it’s doing that is because of the plug and how it can turn flat. Never had the problem with my tv before using this.
