Do all airplants get large

#AirPlant
I have had several airplants for about a year and they really haven’t gotten bigger…
No not all. I have some large types of tillandsia and some that remain small but pup prolifically making them look larger.

This is my novakii. Probably my largest single plant in my collection.

This riohondoensis is my largest in my collection, but it is three plants. I got it as one and it has pupped twice. Third plant is currently growing and will gain its inflorescence probably pretty soon before it pups again.
Funckianas don't get much larger than this as a single plant, but they pup super prolifically and can look bigger because of this.

Second photo, this type of Ionantha (Tina Parr) gets to this size. I got it not long before it bloomed. After blooming, it started growing the pup you see on the side
No; it depends on the species and their ideal growing environment. The first one is 40" wide, leaf tip to tip, with the second being 30" wide, leaf tip to tip.
