Companion plant - Till. streptophylla
I'm sure we all have companion plants we grow along with our orchids. This is one of mine. Takes up very little room and likes the same conditions.
Tillandsia streptophylla

What's really cool about this is that when it's really dry the leaves curl up even more, and if it's just been watered they straighten out (not totally but somewhat wavey). |

This was my first Tillie, followed by another and a couple of xerographicas. They all died due to what resembled Phal crown rot.
Fast forward a few years to a couple of months ago, and I have a couple of streptos and a couple of spiny types. Still don't know much about Tillies but apparently I'm a sucker for streptos.
