chartacea

Tillandsia chartacea (char-TAH-say-a) is a long, caulescent growing species that is normally hung upside down. The growing tip then gradually turns around and grows upright, towards the light. This species produces somewhat stoloniferous (growing on a stem) offsets that continue growing along the length of the plant which can cause a generational chartacea to reach a length on 3meters(10ft) or more!
