check_circle In Stock
Tillandsia ‘Mali Dofitas’ is a striking hybrid originating from the Philippines, bred from the charismatic Tillandsia caput-medusae and the curvaceous Tillandsia bulbosa. Reaching up to 57 cm in height, this cultivar develops a robust pseudo-bulb and produces dramatic, twisting foliage. It is cherished among collectors and requires protection in cooler climates, especially in southern Australia.
