I got this airplant at this size for $10 from a hobby grower. Ive never owned one and apparently it’s not common for them to be this large…does anyone know why it’s so big? And how/could I propagate it?

KadesI believe this is tillandsia aeranthos major. Sorry for the info dump but I hope this helps give you a start! “Basically this species looks like a larger growing aeranthos, however it is also possible that this is another species, similar to aeranthos, but not the same. A caulescent plant with green to bronzy 3-inch long leaves.” (Tropiflora) “Air plants product offsets, or pups, normally following the blooming process. All Tillandsia will go through this process at some point in their lifecycle, though some varieties like the xerographica air plant are much slower to bloom and produce pups. In order to thrive through the blooming process and produce offsets, Tillandsia require ample light (the level and intensity that your air plant prefers will vary based on type), water, and air flow. You can also use a fertilizer that is specially formulated for Tillandsia to speed up the blooming process and pup production but keep in mind that fertilizer should be used in moderation and does not replace proper care or conditions.” (Air plant design studio)
