T. maxima is a tall-shaped succulent that looks like a firework display. It's also known as T. maxima. It grows from upright stumps, which are topped by circular hairy stems. As the plant ages, these stems trail off the roots of the plant. The name of this succulent (Tillandsia rigida) refers to its upright form. Tillandsia stricta is able to be mounted on almost any material, including wood, seashells, ceramics, rocks, and ceramics. They don't require soil for growth, but attach to trees or rocks to grow. Although they may look like sea rocks, this succulent is still alive and well.
