Tillandsia xerographica Rohweder is a breathtaking epiphyte. It has multiple wide, thick leaves of the gentlest greenish silver shades. They grow outwards form the heart of the plant, arching over before tapering at the tip. They have multiple layers that form a spherical rosette.; Xerographica translates form Greek and means “dry brush” or “dry painting.” The flower is reminiscent of a paintbrush or a red-hot poker. It grows on a single long stem that protrudes form the heart of the plant. The stalk reaches 35cm long in the biggest varieties of the plant.

Genus name was forged by Carl Linnaeus in 1738 in honor of the Finnish doctor and botanist Elias Tillandz (originally Tillander ) (1640-1693).
