A species of the states of Permanbuco and Alagoas in northeastern Brazil where it grows as and epiphyte or terrestrial resting and Atlantic Forest habitats. Incredibly it was first shown in an illustration back in 1648 in Polish publication. Today, surprisingly, it is rare in collections.

A medium-large plant with an upright funnelform rosette shape of stiff, broad, green leaves mottled with darker green. The inflorescence is a stout panicle with tripinnate branches except at the apex which is bipinnate. The ovaries are pale green and the sepals are light yellow with yellow flowers. Scape bracts are broad and bright red. Rather showy and long lasting.

Tropiflora's Air Plant Food Soluble 20-10-20

This is a good quality, versatile formula for epiphytic plants. This fertilizer does not use urea as a nitrogen source, as it is not usable by epiphytic plants. Water soluble, it can be used in daily irrigation or applied at intervals. Will not burn foliage at recommended rates and does not stain foliage. This is the fertilizer we use here at Tropiflora for our bromeliads, orchids and all epiphytic plants.

Guaranteed Analysis: Total Nitrogen (N) 20% 7.90% ammoniacal nitrogen 12.10% nitrate nitrogen Available phosphate (P2O5) 10% Soluble potash (K2O) 20% Magnesium (Mg) 0.10%Boron (B) 0.02%Copper (Cu) 0.025% Iron (Fe) 0.05%Manganese (Mn) 0.025% Molybdenum (Mo) 0.0029% Zinc (Zn) 0.025%

Application Rates: Constant Feed: A rate of 50 to 150 ppm of nitrogen is recommended. For bi-weekly applications: Use at the rate of 1½ to 2 tsp per gallon of water. Monthly: 1 to 1½ to tbs/gal.

This is our standard all around fertilizer we use at the nursery for pretty much everything.  The controlled release fertilizer has 5 to 6 months of constant feed at an average temperature of 70° (F).  Of course in warmer conditions the time release is much faster shortening the life span to 3 to 4 months.  It can be incorporated in any potting media at a rate of 1/2 to 1 teaspoon per 6-inch pot or broadcast at a rate of 2 to 3.5 ounces per square yard or cubic foot of mix.

 

Useful for many epiphytic plants and essential for Vanda culture. These sturdy, well made baskets are manufactured in Central America from Cedrela odorata, or Tropical Cedar, which has a cedar fragrance and looks like mahogany.

The source of this wood for baskets is mostly as a byproduct of furniture manufacturing, it is long lasting, non toxic to plants and resists rot. The galvanized wires that hold the slats together are of a heavy gauge to last for years.

Tropiflora sells sturdy, four wire, rust-resistant, galvanized steel wire hangers. A permanent hanging hook is formed at one end and the other ends are straight, ready to be bent into the type of hook needed to hang your basket or pot.

We offer cork pieces already broken into useful sizes, especially useful for those who may find it difficult to break pieces up by hand. Thickness varies from about a half inch to an inch and weighs 2 ounces (small) and 6 ounces (medium) each.

This material is widely touted to be the best and most durable substrate for mounting epiphytic plants; resisting rot and pests and lasting for many years under greenhouse conditions. The upper surface is rough and craggy and the underside, harder and fairly smooth. This product is harvested sustainably in Portugal from Quercus suber, the cork oak, and it's main use is for bottle stoppers and shoe soles. This is a completely natural product. Easily broken into any size needed and can be 'drilled' with an awl or ice pick. 

Sponge rock, also known by the name expanded perlite, is a very common ingredient in orchid mixes. Sponge rock decreases compaction of mix, increases aeration and retains moisture.

Good drainage is key for the health of a potted plant. Mesquite charcoal is free of chemical additives, slow to decompose, helps drainage, provides air circulation for orchids, and grabs onto nutrients and toxins in any mix it is incorporated into.

Authentic beaded jewelry, handmade by Huichol artisans in Mexico in the 1980's. Each piece is a vibrant link to the rich culture and connection to nature that embodies the Huichol way of life.

Huichol beadwork is far more than decoration. Artists use tiny glass beads in two traditional ways: pressed into beeswax to create intricate mosaics, and carefully strung and woven to form belts, necklaces, purses, and other wearable or functional objects. The vivid designs depict sacred symbols drawn from their spiritual world—deer, maize, peyote, the sun, and ancestral stories. Each piece is both a work of art and a visual prayer, reflecting a deep connection to nature, ritual, and cultural memory passed down through generations.
